Essence

Essence is a lightweight and customisable general use plugin for servers of any size. It adds a number of commands including teleportation, warps, user homes, easy gamemode changing, teams, kits, chat formatting & management, and inventory management systems.

With Essence you can do so much…

Create homes, warps, teams, and kits. Share the love by healing or feeding someone. Repair your tools for your next big adventure or have someone pay you to do it for them. Manage your chat, displaying it in any format, colour, order, or way you’d like! Add custom joining and leaving messages, manage your world spawns, and add a Message of the Day to your server.

Essence is one of the most customisable plugins you’ll find. With integrations with Vault and PlaceholderAPI, the fun doesn’t stop here. Use Essence as an economy provider, letting you a thriving economy on your server, whilst we talk to the other plugins for you. Or display prefixes from your permissions plugins using Essence Chat, now built-in.

You can also import your data from existing plugins including EssentialsX.

With Essence, your server is yours. You can do what you’d like, how you’d like, wherever you’d like. The limit it your imagination.

Requirements

Essence is designed with heavy permissions use for customisation - we strongly recommend using LuckPerms. You can learn more about permissions on our commands page at the wiki.
Essence supports CraftBukkit, Spigot, Paper, and Folia; as well as forks of these. Some commands may only work on Paper and Folia.
For specific Minecraft versions, please see the versions tab.
Certain features have support for Vault, PlaceholderAPI, and a permissions plugin. Essence will work without these, but certain features including the economy and placeholders will only work within Essence's commands. There's more information about which specific features need this on our wiki.
