Before installing or updating any plugin, stop your Minecraft server completely.

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:
