How to install Alert

  1. This one goes on your Velocity proxy, not on the game servers behind it.

  2. Download the .jar file from Hangar and put it in the plugins folder of your server.

  3. Restart the server. Avoid /reload, many plugins do not handle it well.

  4. Type /plugins in the console: Alert should be listed in green. Its config files are created in the plugins folder on the first start.
