🌲 Introduction 🌲

Plugins are an addition to your server which will make your experience greater.

The best thing about plugins is that they do not need to be set up on each player's client like mods. Players will be able to join with the normal Minecraft client regardless of how many plugins your server is running.

With plugins you will be able to do a lot of new things on your server, like protecting areas, creating kits, using an economic system, and much more.

❗❗❗ NOTE ❗❗❗
