Step 1 - Place the Plugin

• Download the plugin .jar file
• Stop your Minecraft serve
• Place the .jar into the /plugins/ folder
• Start the server again.

Step 2 - First Run Setup

Folder Structure

On first run, the plugin will generate its own folder at:

/plugins/CollectablesCodex/

Inside, you’ll see a structure like this:

..CollectablesCodex/
├── collectables/
│   ├── notes.yml          # Example repository config
│   └── notes/             # Folder with example entries
│       ├── papers.yml
│       ├── weathered_journal.yml
│       └── ...
├── menus/
│   └── collectables.yml   # Menu layout config
└── config.yml             # Global plugin settings

Notes

• The plugin may also generate storage files at runtime, depending on your setup:
  • collectables.db (for database-backed storage - SQLite)
  • playerdata.collectables (for file-based storage - no driver supplied)
• Example collectables (like papers.yml or weathered_journal.yml) are provided to show format - you should replace or extend them with your own

Step 3 - Verify

• Run /collectables in-game. The Collections menu should open
• Check your server console for any errors during startup
