Statistics

To guide future development and improvements, this plugin utilises bStats to gather anonymous statistics on its usage. This helps me track the total server count, assess version compatibility needs, and see which features are most valued by the community.

You can view all of this information openly on the public dashboard: https://bstats.org/plugin/bukkit/ElytraEssentials

If you prefer to disable bStats, you can manage this setting for your entire server within the plugins/bStats/config.yml configuration file.
