Update components​

Updating PaperMC.jar
Latest PaperMC version

Unfortunately there is no offical download link to the latest available version yet. Thats why the latest download link has to be looked up.

In the future there might be a script, to get the latest download link e.g. via file-paper-versions.json or use a bash script like this utils.sh

Check the latest available version on PaperMC and replace <version> and <build>.

wget -q --show-progress https://api.papermc.io/v2/projects/paper/versions/<version>/builds/<build>/downloads/paper-<version>-<build>.jar -O paper.jar

Plugins​

All of the plugins need to be placed in <server>/plugins

Updating ProtocolLib.jar

ProtocolLib is needed for the Vane plugins.

wget -q --show-progress https://ci.dmulloy2.net/job/ProtocolLib/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/build/libs/ProtocolLib.jar -O ProtocolLib.jar
Updating Vane plugins

Download the latest vane plugins - these are available as individual files or all as a zip file.

# download the all-plugins.zip archive
wget -q --show-progress https://github.com/oddlama/vane/releases/download/v1.17.3/all-plugins.zip -O all-plugins.zip

# just extract the files with unzip
unzip all-plugins.zip
Not all plugins are needed

The all-plugins.zip also includes the permissions plugin, which is not used currently. To deactivate the plugin, simply rename the file mv vane-permissions-1.17.3.jar vane-permissions-1.17.3.jar.disabled
