Ultimate RPG Survival by NitroSetups: Install Prep and Plugin Checks

This post is for server owners getting ready to install Ultimate RPG Survival, a premade server setup that NitroSetups sells on BuiltByBit. By the end you will have a checklist of what to confirm on the listing, the facts on four plugins you may be asked to add, and install steps for a VPS, Pterodactyl or Multicraft.

The BuiltByBit listing would not load for our checks today, so we could not confirm the setup's own requirements, features, Minecraft version or dependency list. Everything below about plugins and server software comes from those projects' own pages.

What to confirm on the listing before you install#

A server setup is a package of configured plugins, menus and worlds rather than a single plugin, so the listing and its own instructions are what you follow. Before you upload anything, open the listing and write down:

• The exact Minecraft version the current release targets.
• Which server software it expects (for example Paper or Purpur).
• Any plugins you have to download or buy yourself, and where from.
• Which files or folders from the download go to the server root.
• Which add-ons are sold separately, and how support and updates are handled.

With those answers in hand, the rest of this post helps you check each piece before the first start.

Plugins to know if the listing asks you to add them#

If the listing's dependency section names any of the plugins below, here is what their own pages say. If it names others, check each one on its official page the same way: what it needs, which platforms it runs on, and whether it is free or paid.

EcoItems and eco#

EcoItems lets you create custom items in YAML without writing code. It runs on Auxilor's libreforge effects system, which gives you hundreds of effects, conditions and triggers to combine.

EcoItems Builds custom items from config files on the libreforge effects system, with a limited free edition and an unlimited paid one. On SpigotMC

EcoItems will not run on its own. It needs eco, Auxilor's open source plugin framework, installed as a separate jar in the same plugins folder.

TAB and CrazyVouchers#

TAB controls what players see around the edges of the screen: the tab list, nametags, scoreboard and bossbar. When you rebrand any setup, its config is where your server name and colours usually need changing.

CrazyVouchers turns items such as paper into vouchers and codes that give players a reward when redeemed, so rewards can be held, stored or traded as items.

Match Paper or Purpur and the Java version#

When we checked the Paper downloads page today, 26.2 was the stable release and builds for 26.3 were marked experimental. Run the version the listing names, even when a newer one appears, until the seller says the newer one is supported.

The Paper docs tie the Java version to the Minecraft version:

Paper Free Open source Minecraft server software that runs Bukkit and Spigot plugins. On PaperMC

Purpur is open source server software based on Paper, under the MIT licence, with extra configuration and gameplay options. It runs plugins written for the Bukkit, Spigot and Paper APIs, so if the listing accepts Purpur, your plugin choices stay the same.

Install the setup step by step#

Install it on a fresh server or one you have fully backed up. Mixing a premade setup into an existing world and config folder is hard to undo.

1. Unzip the download on your own computer and find the files the setup's instructions tell you to upload.
2. Upload them to the server root, keeping the folder structure exactly as it is.
3. Add the Paper or Purpur jar for the version the listing names.
4. Put any plugins you had to get yourself (and libraries such as eco) into plugins.
5. Start the server, read the console for plugins that fail to enable, then give yourself operator.
6. Install any optional add-ons last, following their own instructions.

Make it yours before players join#

• Rebrand the screen edges first. If the setup uses TAB, its config holds the tab list, scoreboard and bossbar text, so swap in your server name and colours there.
• Review ranks and permissions. If you want to rename ranks or change what each one gets, our guide to LuckPerms groups, prefixes and promotions walks through groups, inheritance and tracks.
• Guard the spawn. Our walkthrough on WorldGuard safe zones for spawn, shops and arenas shows how to keep PvP, mobs and griefing out of any areas you add.
• Back up before updates. Copy the whole server folder before applying a setup update, since an update can overwrite menus and configs you have edited.

Before you open, play the first hour on a fresh non-operator account. Broken permissions and rewards that are too generous show up much faster that way than from an admin account.

Who a premade RPG setup suits#

• A good fit if you would rather upload a configured server than build one plugin by plugin, and you are happy to run the software and version the listing names.
• Budget time for the extras: read the listing for anything you must get yourself or buy separately before you plan your launch date.
• Less of a fit if your host cannot offer the Java version your Minecraft version needs; ask them before you buy.
