Installation

Installing HS Armour Stand Editor only takes a few minutes. This guide walks you through downloading the plugin, installing it on your Paper server and confirming that it has loaded successfully.

Before You Begin

Before installing the plugin, make sure your server meets the requirements listed in the System Requirements guide.

• Paper 26.1.2 installed.
• Java 25 installed.
• The server is stopped before installing the plugin.

Step 1 - Download the Plugin

Download the latest release of HS Armour Stand Editor from an official download source.

Always use the latest stable release unless you have been asked to test a development build.

Step 2 - Install the Plugin

Copy the plugin JAR into your server's plugins folder.

server/
├── plugins/
│   └── HS_ArmourStandEditor.jar

If you're updating from an older version, simply replace the previous JAR file with the new one while the server is offline.

Step 3 - Start the Server

Start your Paper server as normal.

During startup, HS Armour Stand Editor will automatically create its data folder and configuration files if they do not already exist.

Step 4 - Verify the Installation

Once the server has finished starting, verify that the plugin has loaded successfully.

Run the following command:

/plugins

HS Armour Stand Editor should appear in green, indicating that it loaded correctly.

You can also run:

/armorstand

If the command responds, the plugin is installed correctly.

Configuration File

The first time HS Armour Stand Editor starts, it automatically creates its configuration folder and generates the default configuration file.

plugins/
└── HS_ArmourStandEditor/
    └── config.yml

The config.yml file contains all of the plugin's configurable options, including editor book behaviour, selection settings, movement settings, feedback options and history settings.

You can customise these settings at any time while the server is offline or by reloading the plugin after making changes.

Updating the Plugin

To update HS Armour Stand Editor:

1. Stop your server.
2. Replace the existing plugin JAR with the new version.
3. Start the server again.

Your existing configuration files will be preserved unless you choose to delete them.

Troubleshooting

The plugin does not appear in /plugins

Check the server console for any startup errors. In most cases, this is caused by an unsupported Java version or an incompatible Paper version.

The command is unknown

If /armorstand is reported as an unknown command, the plugin has not loaded successfully. Review the console for any error messages during startup.
