EliteEssentials | Everything Your Server Needs and More!

1.1.19 - 2026-03-09

Added

• Multi-spawn behavior options — When spawn.perWorld = true and a world has multiple spawn points (from /setspawn <name>), you can choose how /spawn and death respawn pick a spawn:
  • Default (both off): Everyone goes to the primary spawn for that world. Same as before.
  • spawn.multiNearbySpawn: true — /spawn and death respawn send the player to the nearest spawn to their current (or death) position. Good for large worlds with several spawn areas.
  • spawn.multiRandomSpawn: true — /spawn and death respawn send the player to a random spawn in that world. Good for variety or minigames. If both are enabled, random takes priority.
  • Config keys: spawn.multiNearbySpawn (default false), spawn.multiRandomSpawn (default false). No change for existing servers until you turn one on.
• IP history — player files (data/players/{uuid}.json) now record ipHistory: a list of IP addresses with lastUsed timestamps
  • Updated on each join; existing IPs get lastUsed refreshed; new IPs added; capped at 50 entries
  • Format: "ipHistory": [{"ip": "XX.XX.XX.XX", "lastUsed": 1773012653552}]
  • Useful for moderation, alt detection, and auditing
• Group sync — sync groups between LuckPerms/HyperPerms and EliteEssentials config
  • /ee groupsync lp-to-ee — copy LuckPerms groups into config.json (chatFormat, warps.groupLimits)
  • /ee groupsync hp-to-ee — copy HyperPerms groups into config.json
  • /ee groupsync ee-to-lp — create missing EE config groups in LuckPerms
  • /ee groupsync ee-to-hp — create missing EE config groups in HyperPerms
  • /ee groupsync — shows detailed help with all directions and what gets synced
  • Permission: eliteessentials.admin.groupsync (Admin in simple mode; grant via LuckPerms in advanced mode)
• Greetings — rule-based conditional welcome messages. Server owners define rules in greetings.json to send different messages to different players based on group, permission, world, spawn point, or first-join status
  • Triggers: server_join (player connects), world_enter (player changes world), respawn (player respawns after death)
  • Conditions (AND between types, OR within lists): groups (LuckPerms groups), permissions (permission nodes), worlds (world names with * wildcards), spawns (named spawn points), firstJoin (true/false)
  • Features: per-rule delay (delaySeconds), stopAfterMatch to prevent lower rules from firing, showOnce to only fire once per session, unlimited message lines per rule, full placeholder support ({player}, {world}, {server}, {playercount}, {group}, {spawn}, PlaceholderAPI)
  • Config: greetings.enabled (default: false — opt-in, won't affect existing servers). Rules stored in greetings.json
  • Permission: eliteessentials.admin.greetings (Admin) — for future management commands
  • Coexists with MOTD: greetings run independently from the existing MOTD system. Server owners can use both, or disable MOTD and use greetings exclusively
  • Reloadable: greetings.json is reloaded on /ee reload
• First-join spawn — teleport new players to a dedicated spawn point (e.g. a tutorial island) on their first join. Completely independent from the regular spawn system
  • /setfirstjoinspawn — stand at the desired location and run the command. New players will be teleported there on first join
  • /delfirstjoinspawn — remove the first-join spawn point (new players will use Hytale's default spawn)
  • Config: firstJoinSpawn.enabled (default: true), firstJoinSpawn.delaySeconds (default: 2 — delay before teleporting to let the player fully load)
  • Permissions: eliteessentials.command.spawn.setfirstjoin (Admin), eliteessentials.command.spawn.delfirstjoin (Admin)
  • Messages: firstJoinSpawnSet, firstJoinSpawnDeleted, firstJoinSpawnNotSet, firstJoinSpawnTeleported
  • No conflict with teleportOnEveryLogin: first-join teleport happens at login, every-login rewrite happens at disconnect. First session goes to tutorial, second login onwards goes to regular spawn
  • Storage: Saved in firstjoinspawn.json (separate from spawn.json), supports cross-world teleport
• Migration force mode — /eemigration <source> force overwrites existing data with source data instead of skipping. Useful when re-migrating after a failed or partial migration
  • Usage: /eemigration essentialscore force or /eemigration essentialsplus force
  • Without force, existing data is preserved (same behavior as before)
  • /eemigration with no args now shows full usage help with all sources and options

Fixed

• EssentialsCore migration (/eemigration essentialscore): fixed several missing data migrations
  • Kit cooldowns — player kit cooldowns from players/{uuid}.json are now migrated so claimed-kit timers carry over
  • Spawn — spawn.json is now imported as the primary spawn for its world (skipped if a spawn already exists)
  • Player names — reads uuids.json to resolve player names instead of defaulting to "Unknown" for migrated player files
  • Migration result now reports player files found, players skipped (already migrated), spawns imported, and kit cooldowns imported
• EssentialsPlus migration (/eemigration essentialsplus): expanded to match current EssentialsPlus data format
  • Spawns — imports spawns.json (array of spawns with mainSpawn flag); grouped by world with primary spawn detection
  • User profiles — imports users/{uuid}.json: balance, playtime (ms→s), firstJoin/lastSeen timestamps, ipHistory, ignoredPlayers
  • Kit cooldowns — lastClaimed from each kit file is migrated to player kit cooldowns
  • Force mode — /eemigration essentialsplus force overwrites existing warps, kits, homes, spawns, and player data (same as EssentialScore)
• Home GUI crash — fixed NullPointerException in HomeSelectionPage when sorting homes with a null name (could occur with corrupted or partially-migrated home data). Sort is now null-safe
