This is a fork of Essentials called EssentialsX.

If you are using this, do NOT ask Essentials for support.

The official upstream repository is at https://github.com/Essentials/Essentials.

Why use EssentialsX?

EssentialsX is an unofficial continuation of Essentials, updated to support modern Minecraft and Spigot versions. It provides several performance enhancements and fixes that are currently not available in Essentials and Spigot-Essentials. For more details, see the wiki.

EssentialsX is almost a completely drop-in replacement for Essentials. However, it has different requirements:

• EssentialsX requires Vault to enable chat prefix/suffixes and group support if you have a supported permissions plugin. We recommend using LuckPerms.

• If you have an unsupported permissions plugin but still wish to use wildcards, enable use-bukkit-permissions in the configuration. Otherwise, the plugin will fall back to config-based permissions.

• EssentialsX requires Java 8 or higher. On older versions, the plugin may not work properly.

• EssentialsX supports Minecraft versions 1.8.8, 1.9.4, 1.10.2, 1.11.2, 1.12.2, 1.13.2, 1.14.4, and 1.15.2.
