How to Install EssentialsX on a Minecraft Server

Add homes, warps, /spawn, kits, nicknames and more to a Paper server with EssentialsX.

EssentialsX adds the commands most servers want: /home, /warp, /spawn, /tpa, /kit, /nick, /msg and many more.

Install it

EssentialsX is a plugin, so your server needs Paper.

  1. Open Package Manager, click Browse packages, and search for EssentialsX. Install it.
  2. Also install the add-ons you want:
    • EssentialsX Spawn: /spawn and spawn on join.
    • EssentialsX Chat: chat formatting.
  3. Package changes are queued and applied the next time the server starts, so restart it from Console when you're done.

Give players permissions

By default only operators can use most commands. Use LuckPerms to give players the ones you want, for example:

lp group default permission set essentials.home true
lp group default permission set essentials.sethome true
lp group default permission set essentials.tpa true
lp group default permission set essentials.spawn true

See How to Install LuckPerms.

Configure it

Settings are in plugins/Essentials/config.yml. Common ones: sethome-multiple (how many homes), teleport-cooldown, and newbies (a starter kit). Restart after changing it.
