WhatNeededNotes
Server softwarePaperThe plugin does not declare Folia support, so run it on Paper.
Minecraft1.21.4 or newerJars are built per Minecraft version, see Choose the right jar.
Java21 or 251.21.x servers use Java 21. 26.x servers use Java 25.
WorldGuardFor the arenaNeeded for the spawn and arena regions, arena regeneration and spawn protection. Without it the plugin runs with no spawn/arena split.
NetworkOutgoing HTTPSNeeded for server approval.
Vault, PlaceholderAPI, LuckPerms, PacketEventsOptionalLuckPerms or another Vault permissions plugin sorts the tab list by rank. See Requirements.

Choose the right jar

Jars are built per Minecraft version, and the file name tells you which one:

AlphaWildSystem-<version>-mc-<minecraft>-java<java>.jar

AlphaWildSystem-2.0.0-mc-26.2-java25.jar

Use the jar whose mc- part matches your server. A jar built for 26.x is compiled for Java 25 and will not load on Java 21.

Install

  1. Stop the server and put the jar in plugins/, with WorldGuard if you use the arena.
  2. Start it. The plugin creates plugins/AlphaWildSystem/ with config.yml, the kit, shop, crate and custom item files, tab/, lang/ and menus/.
  3. Get approved. A new server is pending and the plugin stays off. The console prints your server id. Send it to AlphaStudio, wait for approval and restart. See Server approval.
  4. Set up the arena. Follow the Quick start.
The shipped config turns the crafting table and anvil damage off (features.no-crafting and features.anvil-no-damage) because gear comes from kits and the shop. Set them to false if players should craft.

Update

  1. Back up plugins/AlphaWildSystem/. It holds the database file, arena.yml and the arena snapshot.
  2. Replace the jar and restart. /awild reload never loads a new jar.
  3. Let it fill in the gaps. Config files install defaults only when a file is missing, and never overwrite your edits.
Upgrading from 1.x: license keys no longer exist. 2.0.0 needs the server to be approved in the AlphaStudio panel, and an unapproved server will not run the plugin. Read Server approval before updating a live server.
