Pricing and distribution
The plugin is distributed as a free option. Check the official page for the current download source and license.
What to check before using it
- No special warning beyond the normal rule: verify the current official documentation and test on a backup/staging server before production.
Also check the plugin's current dependency list, migration notes and supported server versions on the official page before changing a production server.
Operational caution: PlayerPoints provides its own points currency and API; it is not automatically the same as the money provider exposed through Vault.
Common questions
What does PlayerPoints do?
Points-based currency commonly used for voting, shops, rewards and secondary progression.
Is PlayerPoints a plugin or a mod?
PlayerPoints 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 PlayerPoints on a compatible Bukkit/Paper server and decide which plugins will create, spend or transfer points. Back up existing balances before connecting a shop, vote-reward system or external database.
How do I know the plugin loaded?
Use the version-specific PlayerPoints help output to award a small test amount and check that a normal player’s balance changes, persists after a clean restart and is visible to the dependent shop or rewards plugin.
What if it does not load?
If a shop cannot read points, check whether it expects PlayerPoints, Vault economy currency or a different points provider; those are not interchangeable. Examine storage errors before resetting any balances.
