How to add Plugins to a server thats already gone live.

Hello all i have a small ftb server and i have had it up and running for a good month or so and dedicated players, but most would like to see the essentials and other plugins added due to lag issues and other things. So i was wondering if there was a way to get that without damaging their player saved data or the world they have all been building in? if so can someone help with how to do this

Thank you.

Stop the server, make a backup, install the new plugins, and start it again.

If anything goes wrong, stop the server, restore, and start without the plugin/plugins.

Can you add plugins to a modded server?

Most mods and mod packs do not support Bukkit plugins as they are based off of vanilla Minecraft. However, with BukkitForge, MCPC+ (and future forks such as Cauldron, KCauldron and Thermos) and/or Sponge, you can enable plugin support again.
