When starting a Minecraft plan at GGServers, you will have plenty of options for your server type, including pre-defined plugin packs or modpacks. But sometimes, you may want extra functionalities added to a pack, like extra plugins or mods that are not present in the pack itself.
When the server is updated via Multicraft, the extra plugins or mods and their config files are removed to assure compatibility with the new update, as old versions of the mods/plugins/config files could cause errors within the game or prevent proper gameplay functionalities.
This guide will walk you through the process of adding extra plugins or mods to the existing packs we provide that will not be removed once you update them.
