Overview

EssentialsMiniReload is a modern essentials plugin for Spigot, Paper, and Purpur servers. It brings together the most common server tools in one lightweight plugin, so you do not need a large stack of separate plugins for everyday commands.

The plugin includes homes, warps, spawn management, economy commands, kits, moderation tools, private messages, mail, nicknames, backpacks, portable utility stations, recipe helpers, inventory utilities, world controls, and more.

It is designed for Minecraft 1.20.6 and higher and runs on Java 17.

Kit permissions:

Code (Text):

essentialsmini.kits.<kitname>

Configuration

The plugin generates configuration and data files automatically after the first server start.

Common files include:

Code (Text):

config.yml
Language/message files such as

Code (Text):

messages_en-EN.yml
Custom language/message files such as

Code (Text):

messages_nl-NL.yml
Code (Text):

locations.yml
Code (Text):

kits.yml
Code (Text):

mail.yml
Code (Text):

tempMutes.yml
Code (Text):

nicks.yml

You can customize messages, storage options, economy settings, moderation behavior, and many other plugin features.

Existing

Code (Text):

config.yml

files are updated with missing default options and bundled comments on startup or

Code (Text):

/essentialsmini reload

without overwriting configured values.

Custom message locales

Add custom message files to

Code (Text):

plugins/EssentialsMini/

using the

Code (Text):

messages_<locale>.yml

naming format, for example

Code (Text):

messages_nl-NL.yml

.

If a custom file exists but is not enabled, EssentialsMiniReload logs a prompt explaining how to add it. You can enable it with

Code (Text):

/essentialsmini messages add <locale>

or by adding the locale to

Code (Text):

messages.customLocales

Code (Text):

config.yml

.

Use

Code (Text):

/essentialsmini messages create <locale>

to copy the English messages into a new custom locale file and enable it immediately. Use

Code (Text):

/essentialsmini messages list

to view loaded locales, enabled custom locales, and custom files that still need to be added.

Code (Text):

messages:
customLocales:
- nl-NL
promptForCustomLocales: true

Customization

The

Code (Text):

customization

section in

Code (Text):

config.yml

lets server owners toggle and customize common visible behavior:

Code (Text):

customization.prefixes

- Feature-specific prefixes for economy, moderation, mail, teleport, help, kits, backpack, trash, and utility stations.
Code (Text):

customization.notifications

- Chat, actionbar, title, and sound delivery for teleport requests, teleport completion, teleport delay, mail received, and money received.
Code (Text):

customization.disabledCommands

- A default disabled-command message plus per-command overrides such as

Code (Text):

help

,

Code (Text):

me

, and

Code (Text):

plugins

.
Code (Text):

customization.guis

- Titles and item materials/names/lore for home, warp, kit selector, trash, backpack, and utility station interfaces.

Feature prefixes are disabled by default to preserve existing behavior. Enable them when you want per-feature branding:

Code (Text):

customization:
prefixes:
enabled: true
features:
economy:
enabled: true
value: '&6[&eEconomy&6] &f'

Notifications can be sent through chat, actionbar, title, and sound channels. Available notification groups include

Code (Text):

teleportRequestReceived

Code (Text):

teleportRequestSent

Code (Text):

teleportCompleted

Code (Text):

teleportDelay

Code (Text):

mailReceived

, and

Code (Text):

moneyReceived

.

Useful notification placeholders include

Code (Text):

%Player%

Code (Text):

%Target%

Code (Text):

%Time%

Code (Text):

%Sender%

, and

Code (Text):

%Money%

Code (Text):

customization:
notifications:
moneyReceived:
enabled: true
chat:
enabled: true
message: '&aYou received &6%Money% &afrom &6%Player%&a.'
actionbar:
enabled: true
message: '&a+%Money% from &6%Player%'

Disabled-command messages can be configured globally or per command. EssentialsMiniReload uses

Code (Text):

/emhelp

and

Code (Text):

/essentialshelp

for plugin help because Bukkit/Spigot owns

Code (Text):

/help

Code (Text):

customization:
disabledCommands:
usePerCommandMessages: true
defaultMessage: '&cYou are not allowed to use &6%Command%&c.'
commands:
help: '&cUse &6/emhelp &cfor EssentialsMiniReload help.'
plugins: '&cPlugins are hidden on this server.'

GUI customization supports titles, item materials, names, and lore for supported interfaces. Warp clicks and backpack saving are handled internally, so custom item names and titles are safe to use.

For /nick <nickname> <skin> troubleshooting, enable

Code (Text):

skinDebug: true

Code (Text):

config.yml

, reload or restart the server, then check the console for

Code (Text):

[SkinDebug]

lines.

Skin refresh supports Spigot, Paper, and Purpur by trying Paper/Purpur profile APIs first and falling back to ProtocolLib/NMS profile updates on Spigot-style servers.

Storage Support

EssentialsMiniReload supports different storage systems depending on your setup:

YAML files
SQLite
MySQL
MongoDB
