Installation

This page explains how to install Structory on a Minecraft server.

Requirements

You need:

  • a Spigot, Paper, or compatible server;
  • Java compatible with your server version;
  • the Structory plugin .jar file;
  • access to the server plugins folder.

Paper is recommended for better performance and compatibility.

Install Structory

  1. Stop your server.
  2. Put the Structory .jar file inside the plugins folder.
  3. Start the server.
  4. Check that the folder plugins/Structory/ has been created.
  5. Stop the server again before editing the first configuration files.

After the first start, Structory creates its default files and folders.

Optional dependencies

Structory can hook into several plugins. These are not all required. Install only the ones you want to use.

PluginUsed for
VaultMain economy support.
CoinsEngineCustom currency ingredients and results.
CraftEngineCraftEngine items and blocks.
OraxenOraxen custom items.
NexoNexo custom items.
MMOItemsMMOItems custom items.
ItemsAdderItemsAdder custom items.
EcoItemsEcoItems custom items.
ExecutableItemsExecutableItems custom items.

If a dependency is missing, do not use its ingredient or result type in your recipes.

For production servers, restart the server after changing structures, recipes, or plugin files.

/structory reload is useful while testing, but a full restart is safer after large edits.

Checking that Structory loaded correctly

After starting the server, check the console for:

[Structory] Plugin loaded!

You can also run:

/structory

If the command exists and returns a message, the plugin is loaded.

Updating Structory

Before updating:

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Back up the full folder plugins/Structory/.
  3. Replace the old Structory .jar with the new one.
  4. Start the server.
  5. Check the console for configuration warnings.

Structory can create a backup of config.yml when it detects a new configuration version. You should still keep a full manual backup before updating.
