# Installation ParadiseLand can be installed as a standard plugin on [Spigot](https://www.spigotmc.org/), [Paper](https://papermc.io/downloads), and [PurPur](https://purpurmc.org/) servers, supporting versions from 1.8.8 to the latest Spigot release. ### Clean installation 1. Put the downloaded plugin jar file into the /plugins directory 2. Start the server 3. You can now [create your world](/wiki/misc/create-your-worlds.md)! ### Update from an older version *From ParadiseLand-BETA-1.3.0 and subsequent versions, the plugin attempts to automatically upgrade all configuration files and the local world database*. For older versions, you need to delete the generated worlds and the plugin configuration files. ### Common questions * **Does ParadiseLand break my existing worlds?** No, unlike other generation plugins, ParadiseLand doesn't alter the server behavior or any world save files. * **Can ParadiseLand load at runtime with Plugman?** NO! You shouldn't even consider it! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
