Plugin Install Does Not Work For Plugins With External Downloads

The Aternos forums are now deprecated

For help regarding Aternos, we recommend you to visit our support center.

  • When I try to install a plugin with a "external download" (download from external urls), the html of the download url is downloaded instead of the actual plugin. This is really annoying, as it happens to many plugins such as GroupManagerX that are really basic.


    Please fix this or add the ability to add custom plugins.

    We are already aware of this problem.


    We're don't even add plugins which are only availabe through an external site.
    But sometimes the plugin creators change the download to an external site after we've added it.
    Please tell us the plugins you're facing this problem and we'll remove them.



    or add the ability to add custom plugins.

    This is not possible because of security reasons.
