How to Uninstall Plugins on a Minecraft Server

You may need to uninstall plugins if you find they are causing errors or crashes, conflict with other plugins you have installed, or don't function in the way that you expected.

Luckily, removing plugins only requires stopping the server, deleting the plugin files, and starting your server again.

#Uninstalling Plugins

Manually uninstalling plugins is as simple as stopping your server, navigating to your plugins folder, and deleting the plugin jar file you no longer want. You can save plugin data by not deleting the plugin's folder. However, if you would like to fully remove the plugin and its data, you will need to delete its folder along with the jar file.

If you installed your plugin from the Shockbyte Panel Plugins page, you can uninstall it there as well.

1. Open your server's Control Panel and Stop your server.

2. Open the Files tab.

3. Select the plugins folder.

4. Tick the plugin file(s) you want to remove, then click Delete.

To delete a plugin, you will need to delete the plugin's jar file. If you would like to remove the plugin's data too, delete its plugin folder as well.

5. Start or Restart your server if it is already running.

That's it! After the server boots up, the plugin will be removed from your server.
