Plazma provides various types of executable files.
In most cases, use Reobf Paperclip.
The following content is for developers or those curious about the characteristics of each form.
If you are a general user, you can skip to Step 3 without any issues.

The name of the executable file is determined as plazma-(version manager)-1.20.4-R0.1-SNAPSHOT-(mapping type).jar.
Mapping Type
Mapping is a kind of map that connects the actual code of Minecraft with the obfuscated code.
Reobf
Reobfuscated, also known as Spigot mapping, used in most NMS plugins.
It will be deprecated starting from 1.20.5.
Mojmap
Mojang-mapped, the vanilla Minecraft mapping.
Version Manager
The version manager can be considered as a launcher for the server, which is necessary for running the server and patching server files.
Paperclip
Developed by the PaperMC team for Paper and other derivative platforms, it downloads libraries and applies patches to the server.
Bundler
The vanilla Minecraft version manager.
3. Creating a Startup Script
To easily start Plazma and automatically restart the server, you need to create a startup script.
You can create a startup script through Flags.sh and automatically optimize the command by only entering the memory to use in Plazma.
You can download the startup script by clicking the bottom left download button.
Make sure the downloaded startup script matches your operating system.
4. File Organization
Now, move the downloaded startup script and Plazma to a new folder.
The folder name must not contain spaces and must be set in English.
Otherwise, Plazma or JRE may not function properly.
Now, run the startup script. For Windows, in the firewall permission prompt, make sure to select Allow.
5. EULA Agreement
Once you run the startup script, a eula.txt file will be generated in the folder.
is a license agreement that must be agreed upon by using the services of Mojang Studios.
If you do not agree, you cannot start the server, and if you violate the EULA, you may receive sanctions such as account suspension.
To agree to the EULA, change eula=false to eula=true in the eula.txt file and save it.
6. Allow External Connections (Windows)
Modern operating systems block external access by default using Firewalls and Routers to prevent dangerous access from outside.
For Windows, since the firewall was allowed in Step 3, you just need to do port forwarding.
This guide assumes that it is written for Windows operating systems and routers that can use UPnP.
If the router does not support UPnP, you need to search for information yourself as different routers have different panels.
Alternatively, you can also generate a temporary address using Ngrok.
For (semi-)UNIX based operating systems like Linux or macOS, firewall configuration varies by service, so you need to research directly.
6.1 Check the Need for Port Forwarding
Enter the following in the execution window and run it.
Run the command displayed in the Command Line at the top of the execution script in the server folder.
Add start /b ngrok tcp --region jp 25565 at the top and taskkill /f /t /im ngrok.exe at the bottom of the execution script.
At the top of the console, the address Forwarding tcp://0.tcp.jp.ngrok.io:12345 -> localhost:25565 indicates that 0.tcp.jp.ngrok.io:12345 is the server address.
Now you can connect from outside using this address.
If you are trying to connect to the server from local, you can connect using the IPv4 address outputted by running cmd /k ipconfig in the command prompt.
For example, when the following is displayed after running the command,
