Before installing a plugin, use the official website to confirm that the plugin supports your server software and Minecraft version.

Common questions
What does CoreProtect do?
Block and action logging with lookup, rollback and restore tools for grief recovery.
Is CoreProtect a plugin or a mod?
CoreProtect is listed here because it is used as a server plugin in its supported plugin environment. Some projects also publish builds for other platforms; use the official download page to choose the correct platform build.
Do players need to install it?
Most server plugins run server-side and do not require players to install the same JAR. Features that rely on resource packs, Bedrock bridges or optional client integrations can still change what the player must download or accept.
How do I install it?
Install a CoreProtect release that supports the exact server version, set storage according to its documentation and restart. Enable inspection for trusted staff and reproduce a harmless test block change in an isolated location.
How do I know the plugin loaded?
Confirm that CoreProtect logs the test action and that authorized staff can look it up. Test restores only against a small known region before any large rollback.
What if it does not load?
If lookups return nothing, check storage connection, world coverage, permissions and retention settings. A rollback can remove legitimate changes made after the incident; take a complete backup before broad operations.
