How to add plugins without Bukkit on a Minecraft 1.9.4 server?
So recently I decided to make a server with a friend. I made the server successfully (I hosted it for free) but when it came to adding plugins... Well I couldn't find anything! So I don't know how to make my vanilla server into a bukkit server for free. I was wondering how to add plugins in a vanilla server, or if I could add bukkit for free, that would also work.
I am using a Mac book pro 2010 build.
Best Answer
You cannot add plugins if your server is vanilla
for example the minecraft_server_1.9.X.jar found on minecraft.net.
You need bukkit or a more recent artifact - as bukkit was somehow closed when Microsoft bought Mojang - it's named Spigot.
It's it fully compatible with bukkit plugins as it is developped using Bukkit. I personally use Spigot 1.9 for my server and can run multiple plugins like WorldEdit, Timber, AuthMe ...

No. There's an important distinction between Multiplayer mods and Craftbukkit plugins. All SMP mods are automatically compatible with Singleplayer Minecraft and are installed in the same way, but Bukkit plugins are designed specifically for the custom server called Craftbukkit.How To Make A Minecraft Server With Plugins!
