# FAQ

> Licence keys, versions, hosting, seasons and other common Stonkz SMP questions.

## Buying and keys

### Do I need to buy the four premium plugins separately?

**No.** Stonkz, 3TSpawner, WorldEvents PRO and SeasonManager PRIME are all in the zip. Your purchase gives you the **Stonkz SMP** role in Discord, and that role unlocks `/claim` for all four keys. See [Licence keys](https://mbcz.mintlify.site/stonkz-smp/licence-keys.md).

### Why do four plugins disable on the first start?

They have no licence key yet. Paste all four keys, then restart. SeasonManager PRIME may print a long error before its key is set. It stops once the key is in.

### Does the server need internet access?

**Yes.** The four premium plugins check their keys with our licence server on startup. They also look up the server's public IP to identify the machine. Allow `matt-drm.vercel.app` and `checkip.amazonaws.com` if your host filters outgoing traffic.

### A plugin's licence message names a different Discord. Which one do I use?

Use [discord.gg/kgHNjJsB2t](https://discord.gg/kgHNjJsB2t) for all four keys and for support.

## Versions and hosting

### Which server version does it need?

**Paper 26.1.2** with **Java 25**. The bundled plugins are pinned to that version. Paper is not in the zip, so [download it from PaperMC](https://papermc.io/downloads/paper).

### Does it run on Folia, Spigot or Purpur?

It is built and tested on Paper 26.1.2 only. Folia is not supported, because several bundled plugins, including EssentialsX and WorldGuard, do not run on Folia.

### Which clients can join?

Players join with Java Edition on the same version as the server. ViaVersion and Geyser are not included. Add them yourself if you want other versions or Bedrock players.

### Can I install it on a host panel like Pterodactyl?

**Yes.** The zip unpacks correctly on Linux hosts. Move the contents of `server` into your server's root folder. `rebrand.bat` is Windows only, so edit the three branding lines by hand. See [Rebranding](https://mbcz.mintlify.site/stonkz-smp/rebranding.md).

### How much RAM do I need?

4 GB or more for the server.

### My world isn't called `world`. What do I do?

Move `world/dimensions/minecraft/spawn` and `world/datapacks/stonkzsmp` into your own world folder. See [Installation](https://mbcz.mintlify.site/stonkz-smp/installation.md#if-your-world-is-not-called-world).

## Running the server

### Can I try it first?

**Yes.** Join the demo server at `play.stonkz.space`.

### Does `/season next` wipe the world?

**No.** It archives the world to `season-archives/` and moves to the next season. Your map stays. For a fresh map, follow [Start a new map](https://mbcz.mintlify.site/stonkz-smp/seasons.md#start-a-new-map).

### Does money reset between seasons?

Not by itself. Balances are not stored in the world. If you want a full economy reset, reset balances with EssentialsX's `/eco` command before you start the new season.

### Is there a shards currency?

**No.** There is one currency, money. The AFK Lounge pays \$500 or a Common crate key every 5 minutes.

### Where do I change prices?

Market items and prices are in `plugins/Stonkz/items.yml`. Spawner prices are in `plugins/3TSpawner/shop.yml`. See [Configuration](https://mbcz.mintlify.site/stonkz-smp/configuration.md).

### How do I give a player a rank?

Run `lp user <player> parent set vip` in the console. Use `mvp` or `admin` for the other ranks. See [Ranks](https://mbcz.mintlify.site/stonkz-smp/ranks.md).

### Can I add or remove plugins?

**Yes.** It is a normal Paper server with normal plugin configs. If you remove a plugin, also remove anything that points to it, such as its button in `/menu` or its line on the scoreboard.

### Can I use Bukkit `/reload`?

**No.** Restart the server, or use a plugin's own reload command such as `/tab reload`, `/dm reload` or `/crates reload`.

## Updates and support

### How do I update from 1.0 to 1.0.1?

Swap one jar: delete `plugins/Stonkz-1.4.44.jar` and copy in `Stonkz-1.4.45.jar` from the new download. See [Updating](https://mbcz.mintlify.site/stonkz-smp/updating.md).

### Where do I get help?

Open a ticket in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/kgHNjJsB2t). Include your `logs/latest.log`, and leave your licence keys out of anything you paste.
