+# Installation
+
+This guide explains how to install RS-MobCages on your Paper Minecraft server.
+
+---
+
+## Requirements
+
+Before installing RS-MobCages, make sure your server meets the plugin requirements.
+
+- A supported version of Paper
+- A compatible Java version for your Minecraft server
+- Permission to install plugins on the server
+
+RS-MobCages is designed for Paper servers.
+
+---
+
+## Installing RS-MobCages
+
+### Step 1 — Stop Your Server
+
+Before installing or updating any plugin, stop your Minecraft server completely.
+
+---
+
+### Step 2 — Download RS-MobCages
+
+Download the latest release of RS-MobCages from one of the supported download locations.
+Place the downloaded `.jar` file somewhere you can easily access.
+
+---
+
+### Step 3 — Install the Plugin
+
+Move the RS-MobCages `.jar` file into your server's:
+
+    plugins/
+
+folder.
+
+Your server directory should look similar to:
+
+    server/
+    ├── plugins/
+    │   ├── RS-MobCages.jar
+    │   └── ...
+    ├── world/
+    ├── world_nether/
+    └── world_the_end/
+
+---
+
+### Step 4 — Start Your Server
+
+Start the Minecraft server normally.
+During startup, Paper will load RS-MobCages and create any required plugin files.
+After the server has finished starting, check the console for the RS-MobCages startup message.
+
+---
+
+## Verifying Installation
+
+Join the server and verify that RS-MobCages is loaded.
+You can also check the server console or run:
+
+    /plugins
+
+RS-MobCages should appear in the list of loaded plugins.
+
+---
+
+## First-Time Setup
+
+Once RS-MobCages is installed, continue to:
+
+➡️ [Getting Started](./docs/Getting-Started.md)
+
+The Getting Started guide will walk through obtaining and using your first Mob Cage.
+
+---
+
+## Updating RS-MobCages
+
+To update the plugin:
+
+1. Stop the server.
+2. Remove the old RS-MobCages `.jar` file from the `plugins` folder.
+3. Place the new `.jar` file into the `plugins` folder.
+4. Start the server.
+
+Unless otherwise noted in the release notes, existing plugin data and configuration files should be preserved.
+Always back up your server before performing updates.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting Installation
+
+If RS-MobCages does not appear in `/plugins`:
+
+- Make sure the `.jar` file is inside the correct `plugins` folder.
+- Check that you are using a supported Paper server version.
+- Check the server console for plugin loading errors.
+- Verify that your Java version is compatible with your Minecraft server.
