Plugins

FortressMC uses custom plugins for reinforcement, claims, pearling, economy, and world changes. All target Paper/Folia 1.21.

The server is also called FORTRESS or FMC. Third-party plugins for Bedrock support, version compatibility, voice chat, and the web map are documented under Connecting and Recommended Mods, not here.
