# How to Temporarily Disable a Plugin

To temporarily disable a plugin you need to:

1. Log in to your Multicraft panel [here](https://mc.ggservers.com/site/login) and stop your server.


—

2. Click on `Files`, then on `FTP Files Access` and log in using the Multicraft password.



—

3. Open the `plugins` folder.


—

4. Find the plugin you want to disable, right-click on it, then click on `Rename`.


—

5. Rename the plugin adding at the end `.disabled` (after the `.jar`).


—

6. Start Your Server

Now you just temporarily disabled the plugin!

|| NOTE: The configuration for the plugin will remain untouched as it is usually stored in a separate folder with the same name as the plugin.

# How to Enable it Back

To enable it back, you just need to remove the `.disabled` at the end and restart the server after for it to be loaded back.
