About this video: In this video, I show you exactly how to download and install EssentialsX on your Minecraft server. We go over everything. From how to set up the EssentialsX config to how to add kits using Essentials. I show you how to set your server's spawning using #EssentialsX. This is an extensive guide to Essentials, so let's go ahead and jump on into it.
The first thing that you need to do is download Essentials. I would recommend going with EssentialsX as it is much more up-to-date than the original Essentials which is no longer support. EssentialsX is what we will be using in this video. You can find the EssentialsX download link in the description above. Once you have EssentialsX downloaded, you will also need Vault which is a dependency mod for Essentials. You can find Vault linked above also.
Now, you will notice that EssetnialsX actually doesn't download and the .jar file we typically expect when downloading plugins. Instead, it downloads as a .zip file that when you open it will have a few Essentials plugins in it. For this tutorial, we will need to add EssentialsX, EssentialsSpawn, and EssentialsChat to our plugins folder. EssentialsAntibuild and EssentialsProtect will not be covered in this tutorial.
Once you have these plugins in your plugins folder alongside Vault, you will just need to restart your server. Then, the Essentials config and associated files will generate. First off, let's dive into the EssentialsX config.yml file. Here you can change a ton of things about Essentials and your Minecraft server in general.
First and foremost, EssentialsX allows you to change your name in-game using the /nick {newusername} command. In the config, you can change the nickname prefix and length. Here you will also be able to manage auto-afk kicking on your server, and whether or not a player will be kicked if they are AFK for too long. Next up I show you how to customize your servers join messages and quit messages, and I also go over chat formatting letting you customize the look of your chat in #Minecraft.
In the EssentialsX config overview, I also show where you can let users add multiple homes by adding the /sethome command to your server. With this people will be able to do /home {homename} on your server. We then move on to the server's welcome message for new players, so players will have a custom experience from the second they join. Then, we look at how to set player's starter kit, and how to change your server's new player spawn.
Next up I am going to show you how to add kits to your #MinecraftServer. This is very easy as it is done mostly in game. Once you are in game, just get what you want to be in the kit in your inventory. Add enchantments with the /enchant {enchantment} command, and then, once you have the kit created do /createkit {kitname} {delay}. This will make your. You can then get the kit with /kit {kitname}. You can also end kits with a text editor by opening the 'kit.yml' file in the Essentials folder.
There is so much more that EssentialsX can do for your server, and it is all covered in this video such as how to add /spawn to your server to editing the server motd and rules to even how to see all of the commands EssentialsX has. With that being said, I hope you enjoyed the video and it helped you out! If it did, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more awesome content!
