# FAQ

## ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

#### Q1: Why did it say "No compatible version found on Modrinth" for a specific plugin?

**A:** This happens when a plugin author has not tagged their Modrinth release with the *exact* semantic game version your server is using. ThikeCore automatically strips out annoying custom build suffixes (like changing `26.1.2.build.67` into a clean `26.1.2`), but if the developer only marked their plugin up to an older version, the API search will safely yield empty results rather than risking downloading a broken file.

#### Q2: Does running `/generate` lag or freeze the main server thread?

**A:** **No.** All network requests, API queries, URL encoding, and file-stream transfers run completely **asynchronously** via the server scheduler scheduler thread pool. Your main server thread remains completely untouched, meaning player ticks, entity AI, and block updates won't stutter during batch downloading.

#### Q3: What server platforms are supported by the downloader matrix?

**A:** ThikeCore features a platform sniffer that maps API requests to your platform loader. It explicitly recognizes and adapts its query engine for:

* **Purpur**
* **Paper**
* **Spigot / Standard Bukkit**

#### Q4: Where do the downloaded plugins go? Do I have to move them?

**A:** They are deployed directly into your primary `plugins/` directory. Once the matrix downloader finishes processing, you simply need to restart the server instance or use a hot-swapping manager to enable them.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://zen-10.gitbook.io/zen-studios/thikecore/faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
