# Installation

### Requirements

* Paper 26.2
* Java 25
* Internet access during the first startup so Paper can download the SQLite JDBC library declared by the plugin

CozyClaims does not require GriefPrevention or another claims plugin for a fresh installation.

### Install

1. Stop the server.
2. Put `CozyClaims-release.jar` in the server's `plugins` folder.
3. Start the server.
4. Confirm that `plugins/CozyClaims/config.yml`, `messages.yml`, and `claims.db` were created.
5. Check the console for `CozyClaims enabled with native claim authority.`
6. Join and run `/claims`.

Paper downloads the SQLite driver into its library cache on the first startup. If that download fails, confirm the server can reach Maven repositories and restart it after correcting the connection.

### Updating

1. Stop the server.
2. Back up `plugins/CozyClaims`, especially `claims.db`.
3. Replace the old JAR with the new `CozyClaims-release.jar`.
4. Start the server and review the console.

Do not delete `claims.db` during an update. CozyClaims merges new default configuration and message keys into existing files.

### Optional plugins

Fresh servers need none. CozyClaims can optionally work with:

* Oraxen for configured display items
* GriefPrevention, GPFlags, and BanFromClaim during migration or legacy coexistence

See Integrations for details.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cheddah-development.net/plugin-documentaion/cozy-claims/installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
