Does the clan.me plugin work on Vanilla Minecraft?

No. Vanilla does not have a plugin API. You need Paper or Spigot to install the plugin. Poller mode works on any server including Vanilla. Submit your address and you get a public page and uptime history with no installation required.

Does Purpur work with the clan.me plugin?

Yes. Purpur is a drop-in fork of Paper, so the Paper JAR runs on it without any changes. Install it the same way.

Does the plugin work on Folia?

Not yet. Folia's regionised threading model makes Bukkit-style plugins incompatible without a full rewrite. Folia support is on the roadmap.

Will the plugin work on BungeeCord or Velocity?

Install the plugin on each Paper or Spigot backend, not on the proxy. Each backend gets its own plugin token and its own analytics page. The proxy itself needs nothing installed.

My server runs in offline mode. Does the plugin still work?

Partially. TPS, memory, uptime, entity counts, and most alerts all work normally. Player identity features such as session tracking, retention, and the player roster rely on Mojang UUIDs, which offline mode replaces with locally generated ones. Those metrics will be unreliable in offline mode.

Concepts

Supported server software

Which Minecraft server software is compatible with the clan.me plugin, what versions are required, and what to do if your setup is not yet covered.

Updated 18 June 2026

The clan.me plugin requires a server that supports the Bukkit plugin API. Poller mode, which gives you a public page and basic uptime and player count history, works on any Java Edition server regardless of software.

Supported software

The plugin runs on:

Paper is the primary target. All plugin features are developed and tested against Paper first. Paper 1.21 or newer is required.
Spigot is fully supported. Install the same way as Paper. Spigot 1.21 or newer is required.
Purpur is supported. Purpur is a drop-in Paper fork, so the Paper JAR installs and runs on Purpur without any changes.

If your server runs a flavour of Paper or Spigot not listed here, for example Pufferfish or other performance forks, the plugin will very likely work since they maintain API compatibility.

Not yet supported

Folia, whose regionised threading model is incompatible with the Bukkit plugin API. Support is on the roadmap but requires a ground-up rewrite.
Vanilla has no plugin API. Poller mode works with Vanilla.
Fabric / Forge / NeoForge are mod loaders rather than Bukkit-compatible servers. A mod-loader build is not currently planned for V1.
Bedrock Edition is not supported. clan.me currently covers Java Edition servers only.

Minecraft version

The plugin requires Minecraft 1.21 or newer on both Paper and Spigot. Older versions are not supported because they lack the performance APIs (Paper's TPS averages and the Adventure component library) the plugin depends on.

The plugin is tested against the latest stable release of each supported version. You do not need to be on the very latest patch version, but running an outdated server is always a security and compatibility risk independent of clan.me.

Poller mode works on anything

If your server software is not yet supported by the plugin, you can still submit it to clan.me and get a public listing page. The poller uses the standard Minecraft server list ping protocol, which works on Vanilla, Fabric, Forge, and any other Java Edition server that responds to the Minecraft client handshake.

See Poller mode vs plugin mode for a full breakdown of what each gives you. When you're ready, visit clan.me/download to get the plugin, then follow Connect your server for step-by-step installation instructions.
