The essential steps for the Paper plugin and Quickly Studio — concise, verifiable and clear about which Cloud features are still beta.

Requirements

Quickly is a standalone Paper plugin. It needs no other Minecraft plugin and no online activation.

Install the plugin

  1. 1

    Stop the Paper server completely.

  2. 2

    Back up any existing plugins/QuicklyChallenges/config.yml and plugins/QuicklyChallenges/content/.

    Open the menu with /challenges and start a challenge.

Use Quickly Studio

Safe operation

Never use the global /reload command. Use /quickly reload for content-only changes.

Configuration changes require a restart. Stop the server, create a backup, then start it again.

Cloud is optional. The plugin and Complete offline Studio work without an account, backend or internet connection.
