Installation¶
Requirements¶
WorldGuard requires a version of the Minecraft server that supports the Bukkit API, which includes CraftBukkit, MCPC+, Cauldron, and Spigot. The official Minecraft server is not supported.
The other requirement is the WorldEdit Bukkit plugin, a very lightweight in-game map editor, also made by us. Please note that you cannot use the Forge version of WorldEdit.
Note
Due to a controversy and the following legal debacle, you can no longer download the official Bukkit server. An alternative for Minecraft 1.8+ is the version provided by the Spigot team.
Installation¶
WorldGuard can be downloaded from the Bukkit dev site.
- If you downloaded WorldGuard as a ZIP file, extract it to find “WorldGuard.jar” inside. Otherwise, you should already have a .jar file.
- In your server folder, create a “plugins” folder if one does not yet exist.
- Copy the WorldGuard .jar file into the plugins folder.
- Start your server.
Check your server log for errors. If you encounter errors, see the troubleshooting page.
