# Plugins The plugin system has been actively integrated into the mod with version 3.0.0. 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.
