# Support
\n**I need help installing the plugin.**
\nFirst, ensure you have followed the steps in the Installation Guide correctly. Next, check if your issue has a solution in the Common Issues guide. If you are still having issues even after following both guides, join the support Discord server to receive support. If you cannot access or use Discord, you may use this plugin’s discussion page to request support. However, note that you will get a slower response as Discord is a faster option for me.<\/p>\n
**I need help using the plugin. I don’t know what to do.**
\nFirst, review the Getting Started guide. If you still need assistance with using the plugin, join the support Discord server to ask your question.<\/p>\n
**Where can I get the latest information? When will the next update come out?**
\nYou can get the latest development news by joining the Discord server. I frequently post dev builds for the community to playtest and polls to decide on new features. If you’re looking for a guide on how to play, consult the wiki.<\/p>\n

# Commands and Permissions
\nFor information on commands or permissions, see the Commands page or Permissions page.<\/p>\n
# Installation
\n1. Drag and drop the Realistic Survival jar file into your server’s \/plugins\/ directory.
\n2. Restart your server
\n3. Configure the per-world settings to ensure the plugin is enabled on your desired worlds. See the customizing the install guide for more information.
\n4. Set Force Unicode Font to off in Language… option settings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This plugin uses a resource pack that is automatically enabled. If your server already uses its own resource pack, you must combine the Realistic Survival resource pack with your other resource pack. You can download the Realistic Survival resource pack here.<\/p>\n
That’s it! No other dependencies are required.<\/p>\n
# Migrating from Older Versions
\nTo migrate from a version before 1.2.5-RELEASE, you must reset the Realistic Survival plugins folder. Any migrations from versions onward will not require a configuration file reset unless explicit instructions exist.<\/p>\n
This means you must stop the server, completely delete the Realistic Survival plugin folder and its contents, and restart the server with the updated version. If you wish to transfer your current configuration settings, you must first move your current config files to a separate folder and then retype all the configurations manually.<\/p>\n
# bStats
\nRealistic Survival does collect anonymous, non-confidential server data with the help of bStats. This data collection can be configured in the config.yml.
\nThis data helps me better understand who’s using the plugin, which allows me to better cater it towards multiplayer use.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
# FAQ
\n**How can I download \/ install Realistic Survival?**
\nTo download and install Realistic Survival you can refer to this guide.<\/p>\n
**Is Realistic Survival compatible with Plugin XYZ?**
\nThere is not a set answer for each and every plugin, but Realistic Survival will not be compatible with any plugin that heavily utilizes action bars or custom resource packs.<\/p>\n
**Will Realistic Survival be available for Minecraft version XYZ?**
\nRealistic Survival will only be available for versions 1.17 and onward. There are no plans for backporting to earlier versions.<\/p>\n
**I have an error\/bug with Realistic Survival.**
\nOk, first, check the Common Issues page to see if your error matches any of the problems. If it does, follow the solution steps to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n
If your issue still persists or does not match any of the common issues listed above, join my Support Server if you aren’t in it already and create a thread in the forum channel #support. We must determine if it is a bug, user error, or intended behavior. Note that **we do not accept bug reports on discord, only on GitHub**. But experience has shown that 9 of 10 “bugs” result from outdated plugin versions, improper installation, or similar, so please discuss these issues with others on my discord server first so that developers can focus on confirmed bug reports.<\/p>\n
Now, send the following information (in the #support channel):
\n1. Check your console. Are there any errors? (If so, post them via )<\/p>\n
2. What do you intend to happen, and what is happening?<\/p>\n
Please also refer to this page for a much more in-depth guide on how to report issues.<\/p>\n
Once you’ve sent all this info, a helper or I will help you. **Do not ping any staff members**. If some time has passed (15+ mins), you may ping only the helper role (@helper). Being impatient and pinging roles\/members (**especially staff**) may get you warned or kicked.<\/p>\n

\nYou are not expected by any means to donate to the plugin. However, if you enjoy playing with Realistic Survival and want to support the project, please consider donating. Donations can be made through Patreon or PayPal.<\/p>\n
