Essentials GG features
Teleports
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/tpa <player>, /tpahere <player> | Ask to go to someone, or ask them to come. They get clickable accept and deny buttons. |
/tpaccept, /tpdeny, /tpacancel | Answer or take back a request. Requests expire after two minutes. |
/tptoggle | Stop receiving teleport requests. |
/back | Return to where you were before your last teleport, or where you died. |
/top, /tphere, /tpall | Staff: to the highest block, pull one player, pull everyone. |
Teleports wait a few seconds (3 by default) and cancel if you move. Staff skip the wait.
Homes, warps and spawn
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/sethome [name], /home [name], /delhome <name> | Your own homes. How many you may set comes from your permissions (3 by default). |
/homes | A menu of your homes: click to go there, shift-click to delete. |
/warp, /warp <name> | The warps menu, or straight to a warp. |
/setwarp <name> [restricted], /delwarp <name> | Staff. The item in your hand becomes the warp's icon. A restricted warp needs essentialsgg.warp.<name>. |
/spawn, /setspawn [firstjoin] | The spawn, and where brand-new players appear. Setting the spawn also moves the world spawn. |
Random teleport
/rtp opens a menu with the overworld, nether and end. Each shows whether you can go, is locked for you, is switched off on the server, or is waiting for your cooldown. /rtp nether goes straight there. The search tries one spot per tick, so it never freezes the server, and only lands you on solid, safe ground.
Kits
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/kit | The kits menu: click to claim, right-click to preview. It shows which kits are ready and when the others will be. |
/kit <name> [player] | Claim a kit, or (staff) give it to someone. |
/createkit <name> [cooldown|once] | Staff: a kit from everything you carry. |
/kitedit | Staff: the kit editor. |
The kit editor lists every kit with a button to make a new one (you type the name in chat). Opening a kit gives you Contents, a chest holding its items (whatever is inside when you close it is the kit), Cooldown with presets from none to 30 days, once per player, or any duration you type, Restricted and First join switches, Icon from the item in your hand, Rename, Preview and Delete. Items keep their enchantments, names and everything else.
Economy
/balance [player], /pay <player> <amount>, /baltop, and for staff /eco give|take|set|reset <player> [amount]. New players can start with money, and the currency symbol is yours to pick.

Nicknames

Moderation
