Installation

Download

You can download the latest versions from these places:

• GitHub

• Modrinth

Installation is simple, just like any other plugin.

1. Download the correct .jar file for your server type.

2. Place it inside your server’s plugins folder.

3. Restart your server.

On first sartup, BuildMC-Core will automatically generate a BuildMC-Core folder inside your plugins directory. This folder contains all configuration files and data used by the plugin.

By default, BuildMC-Core blocks certain commands like /reload. Always perform a full server restart after making changes to the configuration. Using reload commands will cause unexpected behavior and plugin errors.

Database Configuration

Before diving in, it’s a good idea to consider how your database will be used.

BuildMC-Core uses the H2 database to store data. The settings for the database are stored in the database.yml config file.

You will find the option useServerMode in it. By default, it’s set to false, which means the plugin runs H2 in embedded mode. In this mode, only one process can access the database.

If multiple processes need access, for example when using certain plugin extensions or when running on Folia, you should enable TCP mode by setting useServerMode: true. This will use more runtime ressources.

For most BuildMC servers, the default mode is perfectly fine and requires no changes.
