Quickstart

Quickly set up MyPet with default settings.

MyPet works out of the box on most servers. Install it, restart the server, and start capturing Pets.

1

Confirm your server is compatible

Check Supported Versions to make sure your Minecraft version is supported. Paper is supported.

The MyPet 3.14 series was the last MyPet version series to support base Spigot server software. Paper is the superior and most widely used server software, with over 82% of Minecraft Java servers today running Paper or offshoots of Paper. Making the switch is as easy as swapping your server jar. Switch to Paper today: https://papermc.io

2

Download MyPet from an official source

There are three official sources:

• BuiltByBit (recommended; stable releases)
• Discord (alpha builds)
• GitHub (build it yourself)

3

Stop your server

4

Put the jar in your plugins/ folder

1. Download the MyPet-*.jar.
2. Copy it to <server root>/plugins/.

It's a good idea to keep the name of the jar file the same, eg. MyPet-3.14.1.jar, as this can help you determine whether you are up to date when the server is offline.

5

Start the server once to generate files

On first boot, MyPet will create plugins/MyPet/. This is where config.yml and other automatically-generated configuration files live.

6

Verify the install

1. Check the server console for lines that says MyPet is enabled.
2. In-game, run /plugins.
3. Confirm you see MyPet in the plugin list.

If you don’t see MyPet, check the console for errors.
