Installing Plugins on Bedrock Using PocketMine or Nukkit

To use plugins on a Minecraft Bedrock server, you’ll need to switch from the default Bedrock Dedicated Server (BDS) to a plugin-compatible version like PocketMine-MP or Nukkit. ✔️ These platforms support custom plugins, giving you more control over gameplay and server features.

​
⛏️ Step 1: Choose PocketMine or Nukkit

Here’s a quick comparison:
  • ✔️ PocketMine-MP – More widely used, larger plugin library
  • ✔️ Nukkit – Better performance in some cases, fewer plugins available
➡️ Both are great for adding features like warps, permissions, economy systems, and minigames.

​
⚙️ Step 2: Change Server Version

To install one of these platforms:
  • ➡️ Go to your panel’s Configuration or Advanced section
  • ➡️ Select the PocketMine or Nukkit version
  • ➡️ Save and restart your server
✔️ This will install the correct base files and prepare your server for plugin support.

​
➕ Step 3: Upload Plugins

Once switched to PocketMine or Nukkit:
  • ➡️ Go to the File Manager in your panel
  • ➡️ Open the plugins folder
  • ➡️ Upload your plugin .phar or .jar files
✔️ Make sure the plugin is made for the platform you’re using (PMMP or Nukkit — they are not cross-compatible).

​
⏰ Step 4: Restart the Server

After uploading plugins, restart the server to activate them. ✅ ➡️ You can then use the in-game console or server console to verify plugin installation.
