To use plugins on a Minecraft Bedrock server, you'll need to switch from the default Bedrock Dedicated Server (BDS) to a plugin-compatible version like PocketMine-MP or Nukkit. ✔️ These platforms support custom plugins, giving you more control over gameplay and server features.
⛏️ Step 1: Choose PocketMine or Nukkit
Here’s a quick comparison:
- ✔️ PocketMine-MP – More widely used, larger plugin library
- ✔️ Nukkit – Better performance in some cases, fewer plugins available
➡️ Both are great for adding features like warps, permissions, economy systems, and minigames.
⚙️ Step 2: Change Server Version
To install one of these platforms:
- ➡️ Go to your panel’s Configuration or Advanced section
- ➡️ Select the PocketMine or Nukkit version
- ➡️ Save and restart your server
✔️ This will install the correct base files and prepare your server for plugin support.
➕ Step 3: Upload Plugins
Once switched to PocketMine or Nukkit:
- ➡️ Go to the File Manager in your panel
- ➡️ Open the
pluginsfolder - ➡️ Upload your plugin
.pharor.jarfiles
✔️ Make sure the plugin is made for the platform you're using (PMMP or Nukkit — they are not cross-compatible).
⏰ Step 4: Restart the Server
After uploading plugins, restart the server to activate them. ✅
➡️ You can then use the in-game console or server console to verify plugin installation.
✅ Recommended Plugin Sources
Always make sure the plugin matches your current server version for best compatibility. ❗
