About vane

Vane is a plugin-suite which provides many immersive and lore friendly additions to vanilla minecraft. It will run on any PaperMC based minecraft server.

For a comprehensive feature overview, visit the official website.

  • 🎆 Lore friendly and properly integrated immersive features.

Vane augments the classic vanilla experience, and doesn't try to replace it. Generally, player's are not supposed to notice which features were introduced by vane.

  • 🚀 Countless quality-of-life, gameplay and system improvements
  • ⚙️ Fully-configurable. Disable or configure anything you dislike
  • 🛠️ Several carefully designed custom items
  • Many custom enchantments for a selection of tools, including the elytra
  • 🌌 The best portals you can imagine. Expensive but worthwile for long distance travel. Supports all entities including minecarts!
  • 📜 A simple but powerful region system for grief protection
  • 🗺️ BlueMap, Dynmap and Pl3xMap integration
  • And a lot more!

📥 Installation

If you are setting up a new server, check out our Server Installer for an easy way to properly setup a minecraft server with vane, autostart, 3D online map, and more awesome features.

Simply download the plugin zip file from here or from GitHub and extract the .jar files into the plugins/ directory. Make sure that:

  • You are using the correct Paper (or Purpur) server version (compatible versions are listed in the title on the download page)
  • Beware that vane-velocity is not a classical server plugin, but a plugin for the velocity proxy! Use it only if you know what you are doing.

For a comprehensive guide, visit the Installation Guide on the wiki.
