uxmEssentials 0.5.0

The biggest release yet. 0.5.0 adds ten new modules, rebuilds Player Warps from the ground up, turns the economy into a true multi-currency system that can sit on any backend, and widens land-claim support to nine providers. It brings the plugin to 34 modules.

Requires Paper 26.1.2+ on Java 25.

Trade cross-server player trading

A secure, two-sided trade window that also works across a network.

• Two-player window with live offers each side stakes items and money, sees the other's offer update in real time, and both must confirm; any change resets the confirmation, so nobody can swap the deal at the last second.
• Money across currencies with an item blacklist, so you decide what can and cannot be traded.
• Trade requests with a distance limit, a cooldown, and a full audit log of who traded what.
• Cross-server trades between backends that share a database, held in escrow and committed with a two-phase commit, so items and money can never be lost or duplicated mid-hop.

Vanish a dedicated vanish module

Vanish is now its own module that owns the whole vanish state.

• Layered see and use levels higher staff can see lower staff, lower staff cannot, all configurable, with vanish-others and a /vanish list.
• Silent interactions, buffs and protections open chests and shulkers without a sound, keep night-vision and flight, and stay untargeted by mobs.
• Fake join and quit messages, an action-bar indicator, and a join-vanished option so staff can log in unseen.
• Cross-server synchronisation a vanished staff member stays vanished across the network.

Ranks rankup, prestige and autorank

A full progression ladder.

• A configurable rank ladder with its own player-rank store.
• Rank up through requirements, a cost, and configurable command-actions (or LuckPerms groups and permission nodes).
• Prestige resets the ladder with its own rewards and actions.
• Autorank auto-promotes eligible players on a schedule.
• A ladder menu and rank placeholders.

Survival per-mechanic survival tweaks

A grab-bag of survival mechanics, each independently toggled and gated behind its own per-player permission.

• Tree-feller and veinminer (both player-toggleable by command).
• Fast leaf decay, farmland protection and a farm assist that replants for you.
• Anvil unlocker, one-player sleep and head drops.
• Auto pickup, smelt, sell and tool with a cascade of auto-drops.
• A settings menu and a permission node for every mechanic.

Security server-side account security

Account protection with no login/auth system attached.

• Two-factor enrollment with a PIN or TOTP.
• Join freeze and verification with a PIN keypad.
• Op-command protection requires re-authentication before protected commands run.
• Alt and client guard same-IP alt detection and a client-brand guard.

Command Control command whitelisting and hiding

Decide exactly which commands each group can see and run.

• A per-group whitelist and blacklist.
• Tab-completion filtering and plugin-command hiding.
• Namespace-bypass blocking, with Geyser support.

Villagers villager control

Full control over villager trading and behaviour.

• Infinite trading, a restock timer and trade toggles.
• A trade manager GUI and click-to-trade.
• Villager protection and villager-in-a-bucket.
• Follow and leashing.

Inventory Rollback death and logout snapshots

Never lose a player's inventory to a bug or a crash.

• Snapshots on death and logout.
• A /invrestore GUI to browse and restore past snapshots, with a retention sweep.

Regions a WorldGuard region GUI

Manage WorldGuard regions from a menu, behind a soft-dependency (inert when WorldGuard is absent).

• A region list GUI.
• Region creation and a flag-editor GUI.
• Member and owner management with region priority.

Server Tweaks small infrastructure toggles

A handful of opt-in server tweaks.

• A custom F3 server brand and console spam filtering.
• No-chat-reports and signed-velocity handling.

Player Warps, rebuilt

Player warps were rebuilt from scratch onto a clean, secure aggregate.

• A surrogate-id model with proper value objects, so warps can be renamed freely and the core layer stays clean.
• Passwords hashed with PBKDF2, never stored in plaintext.
• A full ordered access gate whitelist, bans, members and password, enforced in order.
• Economy entry fees charged on visit and banked to the owner.
• A paged browse menu plus view, rating, management, members, whitelist, bans, categories and icon menus.
• Rating and favouriting, with a reward for players who rate.
• Rent and sponsorship rent with suspend and archive, sponsorship with pinned browse slots.
• Cross-server visits teleport straight to a warp on another backend.
• Legacy migration plus importers for AxPlayerWarps, Athelion and Olzie.

Multi-currency economy, on any backend

The economy became a routing layer over pluggable currency backends.

• A currency backend SPI each currency names the backend that holds it.
• The native ledger is now just one backend among many.
• Built-in backends for Vault, experience, PlayerPoints, CoinsEngine, zEssentials and a placeholder-driven backend.
• A routing provider sends every balance, pay and charge to the right backend.
• Foreign-backed currencies correctly disable the exchange, banks and loans that only the native ledger can guarantee.

Claims, expanded

Land-claim integration grew from trust checks into full ownership awareness across nine providers.

• Ownership lookups claims answer ownership, not just trust, and read the real owner across every provider.
• Every provider consulted, not just the first one found.
• Owner-only placement and claim-ban enforcement on access.
• New providers WorldGuard, Towny, BentoBox, Residence, PlotSquared and SuperiorSkyblock (alongside the existing Lands, GriefPrevention and uxmClaims).
• Claim-deletion events for Lands and GriefPrevention, and a WorldGuard set-pwarp flag.

Menu engine additions

The data-driven menu engine gained server-side paging and input.

• Paged list sources that query a page at a time instead of loading everything.
• Per-viewer page, sort, filter and search state.
• Text input and confirmation prompts driven straight from a menu spec, backed by a native dialog.

Chat and communication

• A configurable public chat format (LuckPerms prefix/suffix, MiniMessage and PlaceholderAPI, with legacy prefixes rendered).
• Death messages per cause, with a placeholder that exposes the killer's weapon.
• Per-rank join messages, a first-join welcome and a join MOTD.

Moderation

• Staff punishment analytics.
• Punishment templates and Discord notifications.

Item tools

• An /itemedit command to rename items and edit lore, enchantments, flags, attributes and durability.
• Open shulker boxes straight from your inventory.

Fixes

• The recipient max-balance is now clamped on player transfers.
• Placeholder-backed balances resolve on the correct thread, defaulting to decimal.
• Cross-server trade escrow now commits atomically and closes its window correctly.
• Security alt lookup moved off the /alts literal to resolve a command collision (now /ipalts).
• Login lockout is durable across reconnects and players are frozen synchronously on join.
• Public chat expands PlaceholderAPI, renders legacy prefixes and binds the {cause} token.
• A lost warp-fee accrual is compensated and the owner's cut is clamped.
• Legacy warp names are sanitised to the new naming rules on migration.
• discord-link ships a per-module config for its enable flag and link-code TTL.
