### Download the file

The plugin is available for download on the official [Modrinth Page](https://modrinth.com/project/infinitemaze#download). Be sure to select the **correct version** and **platform** compatible with your server software (Paper, Spigot, etc.).

Using the **wrong version** may cause **errors** or prevent the plugin from loading correctly.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Dependencies

To ensure full functionality, this plugin requires the following dependencies:

**Required:**

* PlaceholderAPI: *Used to handle placeholders across the plugin*

**Optional (Recommended):**

* FastAsyncWorldEdit (FAWE): *Strongly recommended for better performance and faster world operations. If not installed, the plugin will still work, but some features may be slower or limited.*

Make sure all dependencies are installed and up to date before starting the server.
