Can I use custom mods, or only ones from a catalog?
You're absolutely free to use custom mods — the built-in catalog is a convenience, not a limit. Anything not listed, including private or custom builds, you can upload yourself.
Catalog vs custom
The Mods & Plugins page makes catalog installs quick, but it's just one route. For anything custom, a manual upload via Files or SFTP gets it onto your server.
Installing custom add-ons
- Use the Mods & Plugins page for quick installs from the catalog.
- For anything custom or not listed, upload the
.jarinto themods(orplugins) folder via Files or SFTP. - Restart from the Console tab.
Warning: Only install add-ons from sources you trust — a malicious jar runs on your server with full access.
Frequently asked questions
