RPGSkills1. Prepare your server

Download

Installation steps
2. Install the plugin
Place the matching RPGskills-*.jar in the plugins folder and restart. Config is created under plugins/RPGskills/.

First run

Troubleshooting
What if my server version does not match?
RPGSkills ships separate JARs for Spigot/Paper Minecraft 26.2 and 26.1.2. On the Download page, select your server version and install that JAR. Other major versions may break commands, monsters, or GUIs.
Textures look broken without the resource pack
Custom weapons, armor, and monsters require the resource pack (Beta). Download it from the Download page (GitHub ZIP) and apply via server or client.
Boss raid portals or worlds behave oddly
After reinstalling the plugin, delete OverworldRaid, NethercoreRaid, EndercoreRaid, and WitherRaid folders in the server directory.
If the problem continues, open an issue on GitHub with your server version, RPGSkills JAR name, plugin list, and full console log.
