Essentials x plug-in so this is essentially going and installing the minecraft essentials x plug-in on your spigot server hosted over on a terra notes now i’ve been using this to kind of play with some friends but just having it standard vanilla is kind of boring when you have so many exciting

Plugins to load so we’re going to go ahead and kick in it off we’re going to be starting off with the essentials x and how it can be used to kind of increase the fun of your server so that is what we’re going to be covering today if you are

Brand new to my channel have not yet subscribed definitely go down below subscribe to the channel give this video a thumbs up if you find it fun and entertaining and of course if you have any comments or questions at any time going over this video or would like to share what plugins you

Use on your own pc server or on a public server let me know down in the comment section below i’m always looking for new plugins to take a look at or mods to kind of try out and check out so me and my son play and

I think it’s really exciting to be able to configure and customize your server to how you want to play so let’s go ahead and get into the video so right now i jumped over into the eterno’s dashboard this is where we can kind of see our server

Now we are running a very standard server where we have a few friends that can connect plug-in and just kind of play on a standard fondella spigot server now if you loaded you know this will work with whatever you know if you’re running vanilla vanilla minecraft doesn’t have any mods or plugins that

You can use but if you load paper or spigot you can load some plugins if you load forged you can load some mods we discussed the differences between paper spigot and forge and vanilla vanilla no mods forge you have to have mods on the clients and server

In order to run and paper and spigot you can load plugins that are not required to have plugins and mods on the client side so they can just kind of join into your server and have fun so kind of going off there because we do have spigot

Loaded on eternos we are able to go down and we find a plug-in folder here now right off the bat they kind of list a few really good ones up front which will be loading here in today’s video i’m actually going to be starting with two we’re going to be loading essentials x

And we’re going to be loading vault vault isn’t really needed based off what i’ve seen in the past when i’ve loaded essentials x but when i look at their website they do recommend highly recommend that you load vault along with the essentials x plugin so in this case we’re going to go ahead

And i’m going to go ahead and just right click and open it in a brand new window that way i can kind of leave that window up in this case we just want to load the latest one so by clicking here on the little check box

It’s going to be loaded on your server now within about 5-10 seconds you’re going to get a little check mark which is now shown there and we should have that now loaded on our server now it doesn’t show any information here as far as requiring the volt plug-in

But if you do click on the link here and check it out now down here towards the bottom requirements you’ll see that let me go ahead and zoom in just a tad bit there the requirements here is the essentials x is designed to use a modern permissions plug-in

Now they recommend using luck perms but you know that’s what they recommend but that’s only recommendations now they also say that you also need vault for prefix suffix support if you’re trying to abbreviate your commands using the essentials x you will need the vault plug-in if you don’t if you’re not

Trying to abbreviate or set prefixes and suffixes to your essentials x plugin you don’t really need vault and i think maybe for this case i’ll load volt just to have it on there but i’m not going to be adjusting any sort of prefixes or suffixes

In this video and then of course it has here essentials x currently supports spigot and paper which is the recommended use and other server implementations may work but are not recommended as they may cause competit compatibility issues i found a really great page as far as breaking down as to what the package

Comes with okay so the breakdown of what this plugin comes with is it comes with the essentials which is basically just the heavy hitting piece that controls everything the general size the economy api and a bunch of other pieces that kind of stitch together now it does come with the essentials chat

Which you’re able to set colors and specific permissions within the chat system by using that piece i always recommend keeping chat around there’s also the essential spawn this allows you to set homes set spawns set different little areas where when people are initially joining your server

You’ll be able to kind of change and set up your own spawn location i think this is a really good one i don’t see anyone ever having to delete this one now the anti-build this is one that i’ve actually had issues with in the past i don’t have it installed

Or use it on my servers just because when i’ve joined with an anti-build or protect on it somehow restricts every single thing to the world being able to be edited by other players joining the server and if you don’t delete it right off the bat

It seems to cause issues so here it says it’s a build permission system it’s a permission that allows you to restrict who can build and where to place and what can be used you know preventing players from placing lava but world edit and world guard or actually our world guard

Is actually a better plug-in than using the anti-build and then we have the essentials protect which is basically a world protection system that allows you to set up basic rules on the servers to abide by in order to prevent creeping you know what’s it called sieging and destroying buildings and griefing griefing

Basically prevents griefing but you have other mods such as the grief prevention mod that will kind of load in the future and then we have a couple other ones i don’t ever see xmpp loaded on this mod we’ll take a look at ngo go ip tell us where the location of

Where the players log in from if you’re interested in that i’m not too interested in that so we’ll be removing a few of these so i’m going to go ahead back into my files actually and now that we loaded these plugins in here we should have a plugins folder located here

Within our files so by selecting the plugins here we should have all the plugins here that we loaded we loaded the vault which is down at the bottom and then we have the other ones here as well so right off the bat i want to go ahead and

Begin deleting some of these such as the anti-build so i’m going to go ahead and hit yes to delete that and then we’re going to go ahead and go down to go ip i don’t need to know where everyone’s whoops did i click on the right one

Right there yeah i don’t need to know where everyone’s logging on to log it in from i think there’s other plugins i can do that a little bit better and then we have the protect2 which is right there which i can delete that one as well so i’ve had a couple

Issues with the the anti-build and protect mods in the past where i would join the server have them active then my kid joins the server or my friends join the server and no one can build anywhere even if they move out of the spawn location and i unlock

That plugin in the future it just doesn’t allow anyone to mine so that’s not what you want to do so those are the plugins that we have loaded up now i can go back here as well and load up the vault one i just right click open it in a new tab

And here because we’re running 1.16.2 this is the version that is recommended for us to download so i’m going to go ahead and select the little download icon there and it’s going to go ahead and give us a green check mark letting us know that it has been installed now if you’re

Interested in what the vault plugin does it does give you a quick summary of what it does vault is an economy permission plug-in so it kind of already mentioned as far as permissions you’d want to use the luck perms you know for permission plug-ins but you can also use vault for this so

Vault over here it does kind of give you a better breakdown of what it does bolt is a permissions chat and economy api to give plugins easy hooks into these systems without needing to hook or depend on each individual plug-in themselves so it does allow everything to kind of hook

In with each other and be used a little bit easier so both attempts to solve these issues by being intuitive and providing plug-ins with support for any system that they may use so now we’re going to go ahead and start up our server so right now it looks like it’s creating the config

For the plugins essential so that is where it begins to kind of set up the folder within here so now if we were to go into the files location now into the plugins we would see a folder here called essentials and within the essentials folder we would have the config

The custom items the items the kits that it comes with so there’s a lot of stuff within here it holds all your warp data if you’re trying to set up different warps within your world then you can definitely use that as well so we’re not going to be going through and

Setting up the full essentials because essentials is a gigantic package of setting up different spawn points setting up different kits setting up different checks uh chat color set up different warps so we’re gonna go ahead and cover just a little bit of what you can set up

And kind of move from there okay so our server is officially online now we have spigot loaded if we go down into our plugins folder we now have the essentials x plugin and we have vault insult we can verify this by going down into our files and into our plug-ins we

Should also have a new folder created called the essentials folder this is where we’re going to have the configurations that we can adjust with you know for the essentials x plug-in now we’re not going to be going through here today then adjusting the configuration file some items the kits that players

Get once they enter our world the message of the day the spawn information or other information in this video our main objective was to load the essentials plug-in and the vault plug-in we also have the vault folder down here created as well where we can go ahead

And take a look at the config but we’ll we will do that in an upcoming video now our server is currently online so i went ahead and set up a little bit of a spawn point here now right now i’m loaded in i have my other screen loaded in so let’s go ahead

And bring both of our screens up online now i’m on the right hand side i’m an operator so i’m able to swap around in creative mode i set up a makeshift spawn right here so i’m going to go ahead and put this as my spawn point and i’m going

To go ahead and jump right up on here and verify this by setting my spawn now essentials x allows you to set up spawns it has a ton of information you can go ahead and type slash help and you have 17 pages of information pertaining to help with either vault or the essentials

X plug-in so if you want to go ahead and jump into the next pages you can go ahead and go through each page and kind of take a look at what each page is able to do you’re able to use pay in order to pay

Players on the server so if you want to pay the other player here sneaky j you would enter the player name and the amount so if you want to pay him 200 bucks for some item that he had that you would want you can do that as well now we haven’t

Configured anything within the essentials x plugin so i am here i’m an operator but this character is not he just joined the world i set up the spawn point now the thing with the essentials x is you have to go through the configuration and actually

Do quite a bit in order not quite a bit but you do have to do a little bit of hands-on inside of the configuration and some of the other areas in order to get it to work properly if you just join a game you know if you have your friends join

Your game and they go ahead and type in help they do not have access to that command so we’re gonna get into the actual configuration of the essentials x plugin in the next video so we are not able to use slash bond we can’t use slash help we can’t use set home

We’re not able to use any sort of functions because of the basic help function being disabled uh we don’t actually have access to anything else so that is going to be it for today’s video you guys if you guys did enjoy this video of course remember to subscribe to the
