This guide will help you understand what Cardboard is and how to set it up on your Fabric server.
❓ What Is Cardboard ❓
Cardboard is a Fabric mod that will let you run also Bukkit/ Spigot plugins on your Fabric modded server. After setting up this mod, you will have a Fabric server that can run both mods and plugins at the same time.
- Also, please note that Cardboard is working just for the
1.16.4
and1.16.5
versions of Fabric!
How to Install Cardboard
To set up Cardboard in your Fabric server you will have to do the following steps:
- Download the latest version of Cardboard from here.
- Use FileZilla to upload the mod to your server
mods
folder.
- Restart your server!
After restarting your server you will notice that a folder called plugins
was generated in your root directory of the server.
How to Add Plugins
To add plugins to your server you need to upload the plugins to the ‘plugins’ folder of the server using FileZilla, then restart the server as you would normally do for a plugins server.
Here is our guide for installing plugins into your server.
Client-Side Set Up
If you want to join a Fabric modded server that is running Cardboard you will just have to install Fabric and the mods that your server is running in your machine.
So there is no extra client-side setup, all you need to do is set up Fabric in your machine as you would do for connecting to a normal Fabric server.
