# First Install

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Make sure** that all of your plugins and server software are up to date!\
**Always check** the version of ItemsAdder which you are downloading!

* <mark style="color:red;">**v3 is only for 1.20.4 and lower**</mark>
* <mark style="color:red;">**v4 is only for 1.20.6 and greater**</mark>
  {% endhint %}

## Step 1 - Installing the plugin and libraries

* stop the server

The content <mark style="color:red;">**WILL NOT SHOW CORRECTLY**</mark> if you won't complete this step!
{% endhint %}

Before using the plugin you have to decide the resourcepack hosting method.\
Click down here to decide an hosting method for the resourcepack (best method: `self-host`).

## Step 3 - (optional) Add official ItemsAdder custom content

![](/files/J704bkjNP0IoAPIH0ogz)

**ItemsAdder** comes with a lot of custom content already created for you.\
It's not automatically included in the downloaded plugin because some people might not want every item/feature automatically added into their server.

### Download the ["Default pack" here](https://github.com/ItemsAdder/DefaultPack/releases/latest)

* Extract the content into the `ItemAdder` folder and overwrite the files if asked
* Run the `/iazip` command
* Follow your [hosting method](/japanese/plugin-usage/resourcepack-hosting.md) if you're not using **self-host**

***

## Step 4 - (optional) Add other ItemsAdder custom content

### Download ["Other pack" here](https://github.com/ItemsAdder/OtherPacks/releases/latest)

<div align="left"><img src="/files/OPdYNc8jkEnvHj9D2XfH" alt=""></div>

* Extract the content into the `ItemAdder` folder and overwrite the files if asked
* Run the `/iazip` command
* Follow your [hosting method](/japanese/plugin-usage/resourcepack-hosting.md) if you're not using **self-host**
