# Installation

#### Step 1. Extract & Find the Folder

* Download the `.zip` file from BuiltByBit.
* Extract it to your desktop.
* You’ll see folders for each gamemode (Survival, Skyblock, Factions, Oneblock, SMP, Vanilla, Lobby, Lifesteal, BoxPvP).

#### Step 2. Choose Your Gamemode

* Open the folder for the gamemode you want.
* Inside, you’ll find three files:
  * `server.properties`
  * `spigot.yml`
  * `bukkit.yml`
* Some gamemodes also include **purpur.yml** and **pufferfish.yml** (optional).

#### Step 3. Backup Your Old Files

* Stop your server.
* Make a backup of your current config files.
* This ensures you can always roll back if needed.

#### Step 4. Install the Configs

* Drag and drop the new files into your server’s root directory.
* Overwrite the old files when asked.

#### Step 5. Restart Your Server

* Start your server normally.
* Your configs are now fully optimized for your chosen gamemode.

#### Step 6. Adjust (Optional)

* These configs are balanced, but you can fine-tune values (like view distance or mob caps) depending on your player count and host performance.
