Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes. 26.1 is the newest Minecraft version Custom Join Messages | AuthMe | PlaceholderAPI | HEX colors & gradients | Much more | [1.9-26.2] declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Everything the author has declared, from 1.9 up to 26.1. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

The server only. Players join with an ordinary Minecraft client and install nothing.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Spigot. A build for one server platform will not load on another, so this is the first thing to check before the Minecraft version.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

On the newest Minecraft release it supports, Java 25 or newer. The requirement comes from the Minecraft version you run rather than from the plugin itself, so on an older supported Minecraft the answer is that version's Java, not this one.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Download the file from the author's own release, drop it into your server's plugins folder, and restart the server. It generates its configuration on first start. Check the Minecraft version matches the one your server runs.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

From the author's own page on SpigotMC, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference never mirrors, re-hosts or repackages a file: every download button points at the original source, so you get exactly what the author published.
