FairPlay Installation Checklist: PacketEvents, BuiltByBit, and Hooks
A practical pre-install checklist for buying FairPlay on BuiltByBit, installing PacketEvents, adding optional hooks, and starting with safe configuration.
Purchase path
FairPlay purchase and download access is handled through BuiltByBit. Use the official BuiltByBit resource page for purchase intent, updates, and access. The website should not ask for a separate local account or local jar download flow.
This keeps the commercial path simple: buy on BuiltByBit, install on your server, configure, and tune.
Required and optional plugins
PacketEvents is required. GrimAC, Vulcan, Polar, Intave, NoCheatPlus, Matrix, and PlaceholderAPI are optional. Install optional hooks only when you actually use those products or want that integration behavior.
First startup workflow
Start with default config, confirm the plugin loads, verify PacketEvents is present, check commands, enable staff alerts, observe debug variables, then configure mitigation and punishment tiers. Do not start with maximum punishment severity on an untested production stack.
