Plugins are server-side modifications that use existing features and code in the game to add new functions. Since they don’t make any changes to the base game, your players don’t need to install the plugins to their Client or make any changes to their game to join the server.
Make sure you're using a game version that is compatible with plugins you'd like to install, the 2 most common plugin loaders are Paper and Spigot. Spigot plugins also work with Paper.
Unlike mods, most plugins are version flexible to an extent. This means that in some cases you can continue using a plugin even if it hasn’t been updated to the latest version of the game yet.

How To Install Plugins from the Plugins Tab?

How To Install Plugins Manually?
To install plugins manually you'll need to install the plugin.jar into your computer. Then you'll be able to upload the plugin onto your server by following these steps:
Navigate to the "Files" tab and open the "plugins" folder.
Upload the plugin.jar into the plugins folder by dragging them onto the folder.
Start your server and check the Game Panel Console to make sure your freshly installed plugin started up.
