What is TrueEssentials?

These days EssentialsX is filled with various "utility" commands which are mostly never used and override vanilla ones. Using this plugin, you only get the basics and you can toggle more features to your liking! This allows you to have the perfect core plugin, to your liking, without missing out on features YOU might consider important.

Essentially (pun intended), TrueEssentials is a core utility plugin for your server, packed with useful commands such as gamemode shortcuts (gmc, gms, etc), basic moderation utilities such as /invsee (more coming soon!), and other useful features your server might need.

Placeholder support

This plugin has simple built-in placeholders, but using PlaceholderAPI is strongly recommended for the full experience.

Message formatting

For all messages, Mini Message formatting and Legacy Color Codes are supported.

Metrics & data collections

Starting with version 1.1, TrueEssentials will collect anonymous statistics including the number of servers running TrueEssentials, the number of players, etc. using bStats, an open-source statistics service for Minecraft software. You can opt out in /plugins/bStats/config.yml. You can check out bStats' website here.
