# Setup

Setting up the plugin is relatively easy. A working Spigot server or variant of Spigot like PaperMC is required.\
\
**1.** Download RealisticSeasons from the [spigot page.](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/realisticseasons-1-16-3-1-18-1-seasons-in-your-minecraft-world-with-temperature-and-calendar.93275/)\
**2.** Download ProtocolLib here: <https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/protocollib.1997/>\
**3.** Put both downloaded jars into the plugins folder of your server.\
**4.** Restart your server\
**5.** Go to the world you want seasons in and type `/rs set spring`. This will set the season in your world to spring and it will also automatically activate the temperature and calendar system. The season cycle starts too.\
**6.** Check out the configuration section of this wiki if you want the plugin to perfectly fit your server. This is not necessary, the plugin will function without changing anything.
