Install FairPlay and PacketEvents

Before you install

PacketEvents is required to run FairPlay. Install PacketEvents from its official release and place both plugin JAR files in the server’s plugins/ directory.

Install both plugins

1. Download FairPlay from its official distribution and PacketEvents from its official release page.
2. Place both plugin JAR files in the server’s plugins/ directory.
3. Start the server and check the console for dependency or class-loading errors.
4. If FairPlay does not start, check that PacketEvents loaded and save the first startup error with your server software, Java runtime, and installed plugin versions.

Check requirements

Check the FairPlay distribution and PacketEvents release notes for the server versions supported by each project.

Before troubleshooting

• Confirm PacketEvents is installed before starting FairPlay.
• Use releases recommended by the FairPlay and PacketEvents project documentation.
• For a class-loading or startup error, compare the installed versions with both projects’ release guidance and save the first startup error.
