# Plugins

The plugin system has been actively integrated into the mod with version 3.0.0.&#x20;

Officially, only certain plugins are compatible with multiplayer mod. You can view these plugins on the “Launcher -> Plugins” page. You can install the plugins you like or prefer instantly by clicking the “Install” button. Please remember that the game must be closed in order to install plugins. Plugins cannot be installed or uninstalled while the game is running.

There are two types of plugins: “Server Plugins” and other plugins.

**Server Plugins**

If “Server Plugins” appears next to a plugin, it means that the plugin is available only to server owners. When Server Plugins are enabled, if you are the person who created the server, the plugin’s features will be active. Other players do not need to enable this plugin.

**Other Plugins**

If “Server Plugins” does not appear next to a plugin's name, it means that the plugin can be used by both the server owner and everyone on the server. These plugins can be activated and used by anyone.

**Early Access Period**

During the early access period, only Patreon supporters, Supporters and Alpha Testers can access these plugins. Other players will be able to use these plugins once the early access period ends.

**Plugins Page**

When a plugin is released, it enters a two-week early access period. During the early access period, only Patreon supporters, Supporters and Alpha Testers can access these plugins. Once the early access period ends, all users can use these plugins.

If you want to get instant access to plugins without waiting for the early access period, you can become a Patreon Supporter. You can find more details on [this page](https://docs.subnauticamultiplayer.com/overview/supporter-keys).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.subnauticamultiplayer.com/overview/plugins.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
