EssentialsX

EssentialsX is the definitive plugin suite for Paper, Spigot, and Bukkit servers, providing a massive collection of essential commands and features. It covers core server functionality including economy, social interaction, and administrative utilities to help manage your community effectively.

Installing EssentialsX

On AwakeNode

1. Download the version of EssentialsX for your server's software and Minecraft version from its Modrinth page.
2. Open your server's Files tab, go to the plugins folder and upload the .jar file. You can also upload it over SFTP.
3. Restart your server from the Console tab.

On other hosts / manually

1. Download the latest EssentialsX jar files from the official Modrinth page.
2. Connect to your server via SFTP and navigate to the /plugins directory.
3. Upload the jar files to the folder.
4. Restart your server to complete the installation.

Common issues

• Plugin not loading: Ensure you are running a compatible server type (Paper, Spigot, or Bukkit) and that your Minecraft version is between 1.8.8 and 1.18.2.
• Commands not working: Check that you have the necessary permissions set up in your permissions plugin (e.g., LuckPerms).
• Economy not syncing: Ensure you have a compatible economy provider installed, such as Vault, which is required for EssentialsX economy features to function.

Performance

EssentialsX is highly optimised, but running many modules simultaneously can impact resource usage. If you notice high CPU usage, ensure you are using a modern version of Paper. If you are experiencing lag due to memory constraints, consider upgrading your hosting plan; on AwakeNode, your server will automatically receive the correct RAM allocation without needing to manually edit startup flags. To add your own JVM flags, set a custom startup command in your server's Startup tab.
