Getting started

Choose, install, update and validate a Rogue plugin safely.

Choose the right plugin

#

Start from the product page and check its purpose, status, platform, dependencies and limitations. A Development preview is not a production-readiness claim.

Check requirements

#

Current Rogue products target Paper and Folia with API version 1.21.11 and Java 21 bytecode. Modern Minecraft 26.x servers may require Java 25 at runtime; follow your server software's Java requirement.

  • Use the exact supported server line shown on the product page.
  • Install optional integrations only for features you use.
  • Allow Maven Central on first startup when Paper/Folia must download declared JDBC libraries.

Install

#

Stop the server, remove obsolete versions of the same plugin, place the customer release jar in the plugins directory, then start the server and review the console. Every Rogue product is delivered as one customer jar; a separate Rogue dependency jar is not required.

Validate before opening

#

Run the exact validation or status command documented for the product, inspect generated files, test one low-risk flow and confirm optional providers are available. Do not delete configuration files as a routine update step.
