AlternateEssentials

So since 1.9 came out, Essentials has not been updated, so I decided to make a server-core plugin based on Essentials, so servers can enjoy the core commands, aswell as many other features. The plugin can be used for any sized server, and is compatible with 1.9 Minecraft, and I will soon make it compatible with 1.8 aswell, for servers that hasn't updated yet.

MySQL Setup tutorial:
The plugin has MySQL support, but you might not know how to set it up or what its for. MySQL in this case, a feature, storing player information, this means that it stores:

• Player UUID
• Player Name
• Player Kills
• Player Deaths
• Last Login Time

Okay, so now you know what it stores, but how do you set it up?
Welll there are some things in the config which needs to be filled out.
First of all, to set up a database with phpMyAdmin or something like that, please refer to a guide. So you have your database, but how do you link it? Follow these steps to link it properly:

1. Open the AlternateEssentials config.yml file
2. Set mysql-ipaddress as the ip address where your database is located. In phpMyAdmin, this info is at the top-left where it says "Server: <ip>". This address can also be "localhost" which works fine, just write that in the config.
3. Afterwards, you should check your database port and change it if needed. The default port for SQL servers is 3306, so leave it at that if you can't get it, or contact the server host or whatever.
4. Now enter the username for the account, this can be found under User Accounts. If you login to the database from a server host, the username is the username you use to log into the database.
5. Now enter the password for the account. The password has been set by you, so enter your own account password for the account. If you use a server host, post in the password you use when connecting to the database.
6. And finally, flip the mysql-enabled over to true, then reload or restart the server. If this worked, it should create a table called "playerData" and start storing up data from players.

If it didn't work, or spewed errors at you, please check your information again, or send the errors to me.

How to install:

1. Download the latest .jar file
   
2. Put the .jar file in your plugins folder
   
3. Stop the server and re-start it (You can also reload)
   
4. Enjoy the plugin, with many more features to come!

For a full list of versions go to this page

GitHub source code:
If you are interested in the source code, please do go ahead and visit the repository at GitHub.

To-do list:
- Ability to edit another players inventory while in /invsee.
- Warps. They will work as a public version of "homes" meaning everyone with permission (for specified warps) will be able to teleport to them. - Warps will be in the next version of the plugin
- Teleport delay, and ability to change delay inside config.
- MOTD - A message sent to the individual player whenever he joins the server.
- Economy, that probably will use Vault as core.
- Jails. Setting up jails, jailing others and all that stuff.
