This is a fork of Essentials called EssentialsX.

If you are using this, doNOT ask Essentials for support.

The official upstream repository for the original Essentials project is athttps://github.com/Essentials/Essentials.

EssentialsX is a continuation of the Essentials plugin suite, updated to support modern Minecraft and Spigot versions.

It provides countless new features, performance enhancements and fixes that are not available in the originalEssentials or Spigot-Essentials.For more details, see the wiki.

If you're coming from the original Essentials plugin, EssentialsX is a drop-in replacement for Essentials. It does,however, have some new requirements:

• EssentialsX requires CraftBukkit, Spigot or Paper to run. Other server software may work, but these are not testedby the team and we may not be able to help with any issues that occur.
• EssentialsX currently supports Minecraft versions 1.8.8, 1.9.4, 1.10.2, 1.11.2, 1.12.2, 1.13.2, 1.14.4, 1.15.2,1.16.5, 1.17.1, 1.18.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.6, and 1.21.8.
• EssentialsX currently requires Java 8 or higher. We recommend using the latest Java version supported by yourserver software.
• EssentialsX requiresVault to enable using chat prefix/suffixes andgroup support from supported permissions plugins.
  • We recommend usingLuckPerms for permissions and groups.
  • If you have an unsupported permissions plugin but still want to use wildcards,enableuse-bukkit-permissions inthe configuration. Otherwise, the plugin will fall back to config-based permissions.

To build EssentialsX, you need JDK 8 or higher installed on your system.

Clone this repository, then run the following command:

• On Linux or macOS:./gradlew build
• On Windows:gradlew build

You can then find builds of EssentialsX modules in thejars/ directory.

You can also run a test server from your development environment using the following command:

• On Linux or macOS:./gradlew build :runServer
• On Windows:gradlew build :runServer

Note the: - without it, you will run several servers at once, which will likely crash Gradle.

Do you want to integrate with EssentialsX in your plugin? You can build your plugin against theEssentialsX API,available from the EssentialsX Maven repo.

Releases are hosted on the Maven repo athttps://repo.essentialsx.net/releases/, while snapshots (including devbuilds) are hosted athttps://repo.essentialsx.net/snapshots/.

To add EssentialsX to your build system, you should use the following artifacts:

Note: until version2.18.2, EssentialsX used thenet.ess3 group ID.
From2.19.0 onwards, EssentialsX uses thenet.essentialsx group ID.
When updating your plugin, make sure you use the correct group ID.

You can find more information, including Maven and Gradle examples, at thewiki.
