Prerequisites
The 30-second compatibility check you should do before you download anything.
A 30-second check before you spend any money. If your server clears all four of these, every TDX plugin will install cleanly.
What you need
| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Server software | Paper 1.20.x | Paper 1.21.11+ (or Purpur) |
| Java | 21 | 21 (latest LTS patch) |
| RAM | 2 GB free for the server | 4 GB+ |
| Disk | ~50 MB per plugin | SSD strongly preferred |
CraftBukkit and Spigot are not officially supported. Most things
will work on Spigot, but the plugins are built and tested against the
Paper API and a small number of features (notably async chunk-aware
hooks) require Paper-only methods. If you're on Spigot, the recommended
upgrade path is BuildTools → Paper, which is a drop-in jar swap.
Folia is partially supported. Each plugin's installation page lists the current Folia status — check there before you assume it works.
Optional but recommended
These aren't required, but they unlock features:
- PlaceholderAPI — every TDX plugin ships a PAPI expansion that auto-registers when PAPI is detected. Without it, placeholders in chat / scoreboards won't resolve.
- Vault — required for any reward type that touches in-game money.
- DecentHolograms — required for the in-world hologram displays in TDX Leaderboards.
- NuVotifier (or Votifier / VotifierPlus) — required to receive votes in TDX VotePlus.
How to check
The fastest way to see all of this on a running server:
/version
/plugins
/papi info # if PlaceholderAPI is installedIf /version reports git-Paper-XYZ (MC: 1.21.X) and Java 21+, you're
ready. Move on to your first install.
