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.
