# Minecraft Panel Tools on XGamingServer (/docs/panel-guides/minecraft-tools)

Minecraft servers get dedicated tools in the panel for plugins, modpacks, server software, player management, and configuration. These appear automatically in the sidebar.

Plugin Browser [#plugin-browser]

Browse and install plugins from Modrinth directly in the panel — no manual downloads needed.
