We're thrilled to have you in our growing community. If you need any help with installation or have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/advancedplugins) – we're here to support you every step of the way! ### Step 1 - Installing the plugin Stop your server. Make sure your server version is supported. We recommend using **PaperMC** due to their enhanced performance and optimizations. Place the **AdvancedModels.jar** plugin file into your `server/plugins/` folder. Start your server. ### Step 2 - Install Default Models Download and install default models pack from here: \ Drag and drop contents of this pack into `plugins/AdvancedModels/`folder!\ Now, restart your server. ### Step 3 - Adding Models (Optional) Once your server is running, you can begin adding custom models. Plugin comes already preinstalled with over 29 customisable models! \ To create your own, read the [Starter Guide](/models-and-guides/starter-guide.md) ### Step 4 - Using Models To use models in-game, use the `/am spawn ` command. Make sure the model has been properly added and configured, then spawn it in your world! For example: `/am spawn chair`, or to give models you can follow this guide: [Commands & Permissions](/usage/commands-and-permissions.md#give-models-with-colors) And that’s it! You've successfully installed **AdvancedModels** and can now enjoy custom models on your Minecraft server. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
