How to install a skript on a Minecraft server

Updated

To install a skript, install the Skript plugin on your server, put the .sk file in plugins/Skript/scripts, then run /sk reload <name> or restart the server.

Steps

  1. Install Skript

    Add the Skript plugin .jar to your plugins folder and restart. It needs Paper or Spigot.

  2. Install any addons

    Check the skript's page for addons it needs, such as SkBee or skript-reflect, and add those plugins too.

  3. Add the .sk file

    Copy the .sk file into plugins/Skript/scripts.

  4. Reload it

    Run /sk reload <file name> in game or in the console. Errors are listed with the line number.

Tips

  • A file name starting with - is disabled. Remove the - to turn it on.
  • Use the Skript version the skript was written for; syntax changes between major versions.

Frequently asked questions

Is Skript slower than a plugin?

A little, for heavy logic. For commands, events and menus the difference is rarely noticeable.
