# ✅Requirements

## Java Version

* Basic Requirement: **Java17+**

## Server Software

* **Paper** and its downstream forks are <mark style="color:red;">recommended</mark>. When the plugin detects that your server software is Paper, it will enable some features that are only available in Paper, some of which can provide subtle performance improvements.
* **Folia** server also supported. Please note: Folia's support is in the <mark style="color:red;">early testing stage</mark> and may be released in official versions or removed in the future. This support is not a guarantee.

## Resource Pack

* This plugin must be used in conjunction with **a resource pack**, which is automatically generated by the plugin. If your server has installed resource pack plugins such as **ItemAdder** and **Oraxen**, the plugins support [automatically merging resource pack](https://flipcard.superiormc.cn/features/auto-copy-resource-pack) into the resource packages of these plugins.
