4. Find the plugin you want to disable, right-click on it, then click on `Rename`.

![Rename](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/440c627be1da0400/9bff7d96-5cb1-4cd8-ab29-5f229e_j7gwfv.jpeg)

---

5. Rename the plugin adding at the end `.disabled` (after the `.jar`).

![.disabled](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/af369895d0d87000/9b5ece35-9765-471c-af70-575732_oy2enn.jpeg)

---

6. Start Your Server

![Start Your Server](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/5_449wta.png)
Now you just temporarily disabled the plugin!

|| NOTE: The configuration for the plugin will remain untouched as it is usually stored in a separate folder with the same name as the plugin.

# 🟩 How to Enable it Back 🟩

To enable it back, you just need to remove the `.disabled` at the end and restart the server after for it to be loaded back.
