MC Plugins Manager for Blueprint

Information

Before installing MC Plugins Manager, make sure that you have Blueprint installed. Blueprint allows extensions like MC Plugins Manager to have great compatibility with other modifications made by themes & extensions. You can find more information, download links and documentation at https://blueprint.zip.

Installation

Using an SFTP client of your choice, upload the mcplugins.blueprint file into your Pterodactyl directory (usually located at /var/www/pterodactyl).

Now, Install the extension by running the following command:

blueprint -install mcplugins.blueprint

Configure CurseForge

MC Plugins Manager uses CurseForge API to provide access to a large library of Minecraft plugins. To obtain your key follow the steps below:

Create a account at CurseForge Console

Generate an API key and paste it in the extension's settings.

Wings Modification

Wings modification is optional and only required if you want to use the Manage Plugins feature (view installed plugins, update plugins, and remove plugins).

These steps apply only to nodes running Pterodactyl Wings and must be completed on each node. If you are using Calagopus Wings, you can skip this section entirely — everything will work without any additional modifications.

Make sure you don't run the commands below inside your Pterodactyl directory (usually located at /var/www/pterodactyl)

Install GoLang

Pterodactyl Wings is written in Go, and Go is required in order to build a Wings binary. If you are using a Debian-based or Ubuntu-based distribution, install Go by running:

apt-get install -y golang

On other distributions, install Go using the distribution's package manager.

Apply patch

Start by cloning the Pterodactyl Wings repository:

git clone https://github.com/pterodactyl/wings.git pterodactyl-wings
cd pterodactyl-wings

Next, using an SFTP client of your choice, upload the WingsModification.patch file into the cloned pterodactyl-wings directory.

Once uploaded, apply the patch by running:

patch -Np1 -i WingsModification.patch

Build Wings Binary

After the patch has been applied, build the Wings binary by running:

make build

Replace Wings Binary

Once the build is complete, stop the currently running Wings service, replace the binary with the newly built one, and start Wings again:

systemctl stop wings
cp "build/wings_linux_$(uname -m | sed -e 's/x86_64/amd64/' -e 's/aarch64/arm64/')" /usr/local/bin/wings
systemctl start wings
