Information about Essentials and servers where it was found
🔌 About EssentialsX
EssentialsX is a continuation of the original Essentials plugin adapted for modern Bukkit-based servers. It provides a large suite of core server features and administrative utilities intended as a drop-in replacement for older Essentials installs and to support current Spigot- and Paper-based server software.
🎯 Purpose
The plugin centralizes essential server functionality so server operators do not need many small plugins for daily administration. That includes player convenience commands, basic economy/chat integration points, and tools used by server staff to manage players and worlds.
⚙️ Features
- Over 130 documented commands covering homes, teleportation, warps, kits and player information.
- Chat handling and formatting hooks with integration points for permissions/economy plugins.
- Economy integration support (works with Vault for economy/prefix-suffix features).
- Administrative utilities for common server tasks (teleporting, setting spawns, player management).
- Drop-in replacement behavior for servers migrating from the original Essentials.
🧩 Who It Is For
- Survival and SMP servers that need a consolidated set of server commands and admin tools.
- Small to large servers running CraftBukkit/Spigot/Paper that want a single, well-known plugin to provide basic functionality.
🏗️ Example Use Cases
- Provide
/sethome,/home,/warp, and/kitcommands for players. - Integrate chat prefixes/suffixes and economy features through Vault and a permissions plugin.
- Replace an older Essentials install with a maintained fork that supports newer server versions.
⚙️ Installation
📥 Setup
- Download the official plugin JAR from a project download page.
- Place the JAR into your server's
plugins/directory. - Restart the server and check the server console to confirm EssentialsX loaded.
📦 Dependencies
- Recommended: LuckPerms (permissions).
- Required for prefix/suffix/economy hooks: Vault (when using economy/prefix features).
🧠 Technical Notes
- Officially built for the Bukkit API and confirmed to support CraftBukkit, Spigot and Paper server software.
- The project is maintained as EssentialsX (a modern fork of the original Essentials project) and is actively developed and released from its source repository.
- For community support, the project points users to the project's community channels and issue tracker.
🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful
If you want a single maintained plugin that supplies common player commands, basic admin tools, and economy/chat integration points on a Spigot- or Paper-based server, EssentialsX provides a widely used implementation that replaces older Essentials installs while supporting modern server versions.

The Essentials plugin page shows which servers monitoring found this plugin on, and which platforms and versions it appears with.
Plugins may add commands, economy, protection, permissions, mini-games, integrations, or other mechanics. The actual role of Essentials depends on each server's configuration.
Data is generated automatically from technical server responses. If a server hides its plugin list, it may not appear in this section even if it uses Essentials.
Use the server list with Essentials to compare projects, check compatible versions, or find examples of how the plugin is used on public servers.
