While the most recent download is generally recommended, specific versions of the plugin can be found in the "Version History" tab.

Server Installation

Before installing the plugin, you will first need to confirm the version you are running. The plugin is currently tested on 1.8, 1.12, 1.18 and 1.19.

1. Go to your Holy server panel, then stop the server.

2. Scroll down to the "Game File" section, then open the dropdown menu.

Make sure you are running a plugin-compatible version, such as Paper or Spigot.

3. Then, enter "FTP File Access" and log in.

4. Locate or create the "plugins" folder, then enter it.

5. Press "Upload" in the upper left corner, which will allow you to drag and drop the .jar file.

Once it is loaded to 100%, return to the main page and restart the server.

Getting Started

Now that the plugin is installed, you can begin configuring the plugin and

unlocking the various cosmetics.

Permissions Setup

Before using the plugin, you will first need to set up permissions to link it to a plugin like LuckPerms.

1. Return to "FTP File Access", then enter the "plugins" folder.

2. Click to enter the "UltraCosmetics" folder, then press "Edit" next to

"Config.yml".

3. Find the Permission-Add-Command area, near line 225.

LuckPerms - Replace the text with '!lp-api' to set up automatically.

Other plugins - Use the required permission command with placeholders. For example, 'pex user %name% add %permission%'.

4. Then, press the "Save" button and click "Restart Now" when prompted.

Enabling Cosmetics

To enable your earned cosmetics, go back to the "/uc menu" and select the desired section. These include pets, mounts, particles, hats, and more. By default, only your obtained cosmetics

Some cosmetics, like particles and hats, can only have one equipped at a time per type. This limitation can be bypassed by combining multiple cosmetic types at once, allowing you to have

Configuration

If the default plugin configuration is not suitable, more changes can be made through the config.yml file mentioned earlier or by accessing any of the other files

- config.yml: Allows you to edit all Ultra Cosmetics settings, such as the price

of a key or the potential rewards. Other settings include disabling items, cooldowns, and much more.

- custom_cosmetics.yml: This file allows you to create and define custom cosmetics for new hats, particles, and more. Several comments have been added to the file to guide you through the creation process.

- messages_en.yml: Here, all plugin messages can be adjusted and rephrased. Whether you want to add different placeholders or simply add charm, this is easy to achieve.

- permissions.txt: Automatically generated. Shows every permission added through

Ultra Cosmetics and displays them in various sections.

Common Issues

1. Plugin commands don't work:

When this issue occurs, it often means the plugin is not loading correctly. Try using the `/plugins` command from the game to see if UltraCosmetics appears. If not

, check that the .jar file is inside the correct folder and that the server is running the correct version. If you still can't diagnose an obvious problem, check the server console d

2. I get a permission message when opening cosmetic chests:

This is an error that is resolved by configuring permissions in advance. If this is not adjusted, the plugin cannot give you the necessary permissions to use your unlocked cosmetics. Make sure

3. Remaining floating text after opening a chest:

In some cases, there may be holographic text that does not disappear after opening a chest for a new cosmetic. This generally does not occur unless you are browsing the cosmetics menu
