The essentials from voidshift

essentials's Introduction

This is a fork of Essentials called EssentialsX.

If you are using this, do NOT ask Essentials for support.

The official upstream repository is at https://github.com/Essentials/Essentials

Why you should use it

EssentialsX provides several performance enhancements and fixes that are currently not available in Essentials and Spigot-Essentials, most importantly fixed mob spawner support for 1.8+ servers. See the wiki for details.

EssentialsX is almost a completely drop-in replacement for Essentials. However, it has different requirements:

EssentialsX requires Vault to enable chat prefix/suffixes and group support if you have a supported permissions plugin.
If you have an unsupported permissions plugin but still wish to use wildcards, enable use-bukkit-permissions in the configuration. Otherwise, the plugin will fall back to config-based permissions.
EssentialsX requires Java 7.

Building

To build with Maven, use the command

mvn package dependency:copy

Jar files can then be found in the /jars folder

Commit Guidelines

Commits should fall into one of 3 areas:

[Feature]: Commits which are features should start with [Feature] and followed by a quick summary on the top line, followed by some extra details in the commit body.
[Fix]: Commits which fix bugs, or minor improvements to existing features should start with [Fix] and followed by a quick summary on the top line, followed by some extra details in the commit body.
Commits which fix bugs caused by previous commits (since last release), or otherwise make no functionality changes, should have no prefix. These will not be added to the project change log.
