How to Upload My Custom Jar

First, you will have to download the custom jar you want to use.

After doing so you will have to decide what Java version you need for you jar file. We provide three Java versions that you are able to use:

  • Java 8
  • Java 11
  • Java 16

Usually, older modpacks are running on Java 8.

As for Paper, versions above 1.17 are running on Java 16.


To upload the custom jar to your server please do the following:

  1. Rename your custom jar file to one of the following, depending on the Java version you want to use:
  • custom-java8.jar
  • custom-java11.jar
  • custom-java16.jar
  • custom-java17.jar

  1. Use Filezilla to upload the new jar file to your jar folder located in the root directory of your server ( /jar).

Here is our guide for using Filezilla.
