⚙ First install

{% hint style="info" %} You should follow this first configuration on your test server on your PC to avoid mistakes and too many restarts.. players don't like when server is offline.
You can upload files to your real server after you finished here. {% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %} You should complete ALL installation steps. Not only the first. {% endhint %}

Step 1 - installing the plugin and APIs

• install ProtocolLib
• install LoneLibs
• (optional) install LightAPI (1.14, 1.15, 1.16 | 1.17, 1.18)
• (optional) install Lib's Disguises if you plan to create custom mobs in the future.
• put ItemsAdder.jar file inside your plugins folder
• start the server
• let ItemsAdder finish loading everything

First step is done.
Now you must complete step 2 to configure the resourcepack (don't worry it's not very hard).

Step 2 - resourcepack first installation

Decide the resourcepack hosting method:

{% content-ref url="plugin-usage/resourcepack-hosting/" %} resourcepack-hosting {% endcontent-ref %}

Optional steps

Removing default items

{% hint style="info" %} If you don't care about my default stuff and you only want to make your own items, blocks and other things it's easy! {% endhint %}

{% content-ref url="faq/removing-default-stuff.md" %} removing-default-stuff.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Avoid glitched blocks (if you have Purpur installed)

{% content-ref url="faq/blocks-minerals-issues/custom-blocks-glitch-texture/avoid-glitched-blocks.md" %} avoid-glitched-blocks.md {% endcontent-ref %}
