#### Supported server versions
EssentialsX officially supports the CraftBukkit, Spigot, and [Paper](https://papermc.io) server software. Specifically, EssentialsX is designed to work on the following Minecraft versions:
- ✅ `1.18.2` and `1.19.2` - EssentialsX actively develops against and supports these versions.
- ⚠️ `1.8.8`, `1.9.4`, `1.10.2`, `1.11.2`, `1.12.2`, `1.13.2`, `1.14.4`, `1.15.2`, `1.16.5`, and `1.17.1` - these versions are still supported, but are not a priority for us, and may be dropped in a future release.
**We recommend using the latest version of Paper**. EssentialsX includes significant improvements that require Paper, including:
- Paper's async chunk loading reduces lag spikes during player teleports.
CraftBukkit and Spigot do not support async chunk loading from plugins.
- `/anvil`, `/grindstone`, `/cartographytable`, `/loom`, `/smithingtable`, `/stonecutter` are only supported on Paper.
CraftBukkit and Spigot do not support the API needed for these.
- `/recipe` on 1.12+ requires Paper to avoid a dupe bug introduced by CraftBukkit and Spigot.
- Paper properly shows colours in EssentialsX's console log messages, including EssentialsX Chat messages.
- Paper contains countless overall performance optimisations over CraftBukkit and Spigot.
- Paper supports all properly-written plugins for CraftBukkit and Spigot.
EssentialsX does **not** support the following Minecraft versions or server software:
- 🛑 "Ultra-performance" Paper forks including Akarin, Yatopia, and similar projects - these often perform non-standard behaviour and can break your worlds and installed plugins.
- 🛑 Mohist - **[The Mohist project is known to be sketchy, and has, in the past, tricked users into deleting official EssentialsX jars and installing an unofficial build.](https://essentialsx.net/do-not-use-mohist.html)** We cannot guarantee the safety or functionality of unofficial builds of EssentialsX; you should avoid using Mohist where possible.
- 🛑 Other Forge/Bukkit hybrid servers including Cauldron, Thermos, Magma, CatServer - EssentialsX is built for the Bukkit API, which does not properly support mods. For modded servers, use [SpongeForge](https://www.spongepowered.org/) and [Nucleus](https://nucleuspowered.org/), or an alternative mod for [Forge or Fabric](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods).
- 🛑 `1.7.10` or below.
#### Upgrading to 2.19.7
If you're upgrading from **2.19.3 or above**, you can keep your current EssentialsX config file. There have been no changes to the configuration since that release.
Upgrading from 2.19.2 or older versions of EssentialsX? See the [previous update changelogs](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases).
#### Known issues
##### Anchor charges deplete on Spigot even when EssentialsX Spawn overrides the spawn location
On CraftBukkit and Spigot, anchor charges will deplete regardless of the `respawn-at-anchor` due to an [unfixed bug in CraftBukkit](https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-5989). This bug has been patched in Paper.
##### Vanilla signed chat commands may show EssentialsX formatting on 1.19.1+
If you use any vanilla commands that send secure chat messages (including `/minecraft:msg` or `/minecraft:me`), you may see formatting from EssentialsX Chat in these messages. This is due to an implementation quirk in Spigot, which forces plugins to handle all secure previews for vanilla chat commands as if they were public chat messages. There is no known workaround for this at this time, but you can continue to use unsigned commands from EssentialsX and other plugins as normal.
#### Bug fixes
##### Bugs fixed from 2.19.6 and older versions
- Using `/sudo` to send a chat message as another user will no longer send their previewed message. ([#5062](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5062))
- To prevent item loss, users can no longer use `/invsee` on themselves. ([#5061](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5061))
- The `/ess dump` command no longer errors on 1.8.8. ([#5067](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5067))
- Various notifications (including bans/kicks/mutes and `/helpop`) now show colors properly in the console. ([#5075](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5075))
- Users with RGB permissions but without color permissions can now use RGB color codes properly. ([#5076](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5076))
- Backup scripts now properly log errors again. ([#5077](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5077))
- The `/baltop` command now works in command blocks. ([#5078](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5078))
- **Chat:** Local chat messages are no longer sent globaly. ([#5062](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5062))
##### Regressions fixed from 2.19.7 dev builds
There are no known regressions in 2.19.7 dev builds.

#### Upgrading to 2.19.6
If you're upgrading from **2.19.3 or above**, you can keep your current EssentialsX config file. There have been no changes to the configuration since that release.
Upgrading from 2.19.2 or older versions of EssentialsX? See the [previous update changelogs](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases).
#### Important change: EssentialsX Chat now supports secure chat ([#5030](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5030))
Minecraft 1.19.1 introduced a new Player Reporting feature on the client, allowing players to report chat messages to Mojang in-game. The server now has a secure chat system which allows players to preview and "sign" their chat messages, which ensures players can't use client mods to fabricate reports with fake messages. If the game can't verify a message, it will show a yellow warning indicator.
As of 2.19.6, EssentialsX Chat supports chat previews. Once you enable chat previews in your `server.properties` file, EssentialsX Chat will send back previews to players so they can send secure "signed" messages without the yellow warning indicator.
Players will need to accept previews when they join the server. They will also need to wait a second between finishing their message and pressing Enter to ensure their message gets previewed and signed.
#### Known issues
##### Anchor charges deplete on Spigot even when EssentialsX Spawn overrides the spawn location
On CraftBukkit and Spigot, anchor charges will deplete regardless of the `respawn-at-anchor` due to an [unfixed bug in CraftBukkit](https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-5989). This bug has been patched in Paper.
##### Vanilla signed chat commands may show EssentialsX formatting on 1.19.1+
If you use any vanilla commands that send secure chat messages (including `/minecraft:msg` or `/minecraft:me`), you may see formatting from EssentialsX Chat in these messages. This is due to an implementation quirk in Spigot, which forces plugins to handle all secure previews for vanilla chat commands as if they were public chat messages. There is no known workaround for this at this time, but you can continue to use unsigned commands from EssentialsX and other plugins as normal.
#### New features
##### EssentialsX now supports 1.19.2 ([#4932](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4932), [#4966](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4966), [#5026](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5026), [#5027](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5027), [#5035](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5035))
EssentialsX now has full support for Minecraft 1.19.2, including support for the new Wild Update items in `/give`, `/item` and kits, new mobs, and new NMS/OBC mappings for accessing internal CraftBukkit code.
EssentialsX also no longer warns when installed on 1.19.2 servers.

- The `/playtime` command will now no longer appear to progress for vanished users. ([#4918](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4918))
#### Bug fixes
##### Bugs fixed from 2.19.4 and older versions
- The `/tpa` command no longer double charges a user with `/tpauto on`. ([#4862](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4862))

- Users who are flying while afk while `freeze-afk-players` is set to `true` will no longer be teleported to the ground. ([#4944](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4944))
- Path and farmland blocks are no longer considered solid blocks. ([#4915](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4915))
- The `minecraft:` namespace no longer gives an error in the `/give` command. ([#4960](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4960))
- The `/unlimited` command no longer floods user's inventory when changing stack sizes. ([#4877](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4877))
- Users who stop being afk no longer fail to count towards the sleep count in some cases. ([#4985](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4985))
- The `/nick` command now shows your nickname even with `change-displayname` disabled in the config. ([#4980](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4980))
- `/ess dump` no longer reports offline mode for servers behind Velocity on Paper 1.19 and above. ([#5052](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5052))

- **Discord:** Leave messages are no longer sent to discord when the user was vanished. ([#5009](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5009))
##### Regressions fixed from 2.19.5 and 2.19.6 dev builds
- Essentials no longer fails to load on versions 1.8.8 through 1.12.2. ([#4975](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4975))
- Local chat allows you to send messages that are 1 character long without sending in public chat. ([#5041](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5041))

#### Upgrading to 2.19.4
2.19.4 is a drop-in replacement for 2.19.3.
If you're upgrading from 2.19.2, you can keep your current EssentialsX config file. However, 2.19.4 adds some new options that you may want to configure, and to do so you'll need to either update your config or add the new settings to your existing config. See the [2.19.3 changelog](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases/tag/2.19.3) for more details.
Upgrading from 2.19.2 or older versions of EssentialsX? See the [previous update changelogs](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases).
#### Known issues
##### Anchor charges deplete on Spigot even when EssentialsX Spawn overrides the spawn location
On CraftBukkit and Spigot, anchor charges will deplete regardless of the `respawn-at-anchor` due to an [unfixed bug in CraftBukkit](https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-5989). This bug has been patched in Paper.
##### EssentialsX Discord hangs on single core systems on outdated versions of JDK 17
Due to [a known bug in OpenJDK 17.0.1](https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8274349), EssentialsX Discord may hang during startup when running in a single-core environment. Due to the nature of the JDK bug, there is nothing EssentialsX can do directly to fix this.
You can fix this by updating your Java version to 17.0.2 or later. If you are unable to change your Java version, please contact your server host for help.
(You can alternatively add `-Djava.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.common.parallelism=1` to your startup flags to attempt to mitigate the issue. However, this should be used as a **last resort only**. OpenJDK 17.0.2 fixes this issue and should be used instead of this workaround.)
#### Bug fixes
##### Bugs fixed from 2.19.3 and older versions
These bugs existed in 2.19.3 and have been fixed in this release.
- **IMPORTANT: after upgrading to 2.19.3, `[Trade]` signs would change owner when used. This has been fixed.** ([#4835](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4835))
- EssentialsX no longer spits out errors if the plugin shuts down while an update check is running. ([#4839](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4839))
##### Regressions fixed from 2.19.4 dev builds
There are no known regressions in 2.19.4 dev builds.

You can fix this by updating your Java version to 17.0.2 or later. If you are unable to change your Java version, please contact your server host for help.
(You can alternatively add `-Djava.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.common.parallelism=1` to your startup flags to attempt to mitigate the issue. However, this should be used as a **last resort only**. OpenJDK 17.0.2 fixes this issue and should be used instead of this workaround.)
#### New features
##### EssentialsX now supports 1.18.2 ([#4821](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4821))
EssentialsX now officially supports CraftBukkit, Spigot and Paper for 1.18.2.
##### `/nick` can now be used even when `change-displayname` is disabled ([#4758](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4758))
You can now allow `/nick` without letting EssentialsX take over displayname formatting. This may be useful if you want to use a third-party chat formatting plugin while still letting EssentialsX handle nicknames.
##### EssentialsX Chat: Enhanced local and global chat features ([#4535](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4535))
This release builds on both Essentials' legacy chat features and the new `/toggleshout` command introduced in 2.19.0, adding several new `config.yml` options and more permissions to control local and global chat modes!
##### Config option to control whether players default to local or shout chat
You can now toggle whether players default to local chat mode or shout mode when they log in using the `chat.shout-default` option:
```yaml
chat:
...
### Whether players should be placed into shout mode by default.
shout-default: false
```
##### Config option to control whether `/toggleshout` should persist across server restarts
You can now let players keep their `/toggleshout` setting when the server restarts using the `chat.persist-shout` option:
```yaml
chat:
...
### Whether a player's shout mode should persist restarts.
persist-shout: false
```
##### Config option to enable or disable question chat mode
You can now control whether questions (by default, messages starting with `?` and sent in a unique chat channel) are enabled or disabled on your server using the `chat.question-enabled` option:
```yaml
chat:
...
### Whether chat questions should be enabled or not.
question-enabled: true
```
##### New permissions for sending and receiving chats
Essentials previously had `essentials.chat.shout` and `essentials.chat.question` permissions, which let you control whether or not players can send shout or question messages respectively.
You can now enable or disable the following new permissions (all of which default to true):
- `essentials.chat.local` allows players to *send* messages in local chat
- `essentials.chat.receive.shout` allows players to *receive* **shout** chat messages
- `essentials.chat.receive.question` allows players to *receive* **question** chat messages
- `essentials.chat.receive.local` allows players to *receive* **local** chat messages
##### Local chat prefix when in shout mode
If a player **enables** shout mode with `/toggleshout`, any messages they send with the shout prefix (`!` by default) will now be sent to local chat.
##### Other additions
- The output of `/near` is now translatable. ([#4740](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4740))
- You can now use decimal places in `/tppos`. ([#4729](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4729))
- The `/ess dump` command can now include the settings files for random teleports (`tpr.yml`), `/sell` values (`worth.yml`) and EssentialsX Spawn (`spawn.yml`). ([#4785](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4785))
- `[trade]` (and deprecated `[protection]`) signs now save their owners' UUIDs on Minecraft 1.14 and above, and should no longer break when the owner changes their username. ([#4713](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4713))
- You can now change the `tree-command-range-limit` setting (defaults to `300`) in `config.yml` to limit how far away `/tree` and `/bigtree` can place trees. ([#4728](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4728))
#### Bug fixes
##### Bugs fixed from 2.19.2 and older versions
These bugs existed in 2.19.2 and have been fixed in this release.
- Unused legacy data storage code has been removed. ([#4707](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4707))
- EssentialsX no longer uses deprecated Paper methods for chat component serialisation. ([#4706](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4706))
- Safe teleports on older versions of Minecraft no longer break. ([#4708](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4708))
- Safe teleports now use the world's true minimum height instead of hardcoding y=0. ([#4715](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4715))
- The update checker no longer spams the console when a GitHub ratelimit is encountered. ([#4731](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4731))
- `/tpaccept` without any arguments now accepts the most recent teleport request when multiple are queued. ([#4755](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4755))
- EssentialsX and EssentialsX AntiBuild no longer cause Spigot to load legacy material support. ([#4697](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4697))
- The `vanishing-items-policy` and `binding-items-policy` config options now apply to the offhand. ([#4725](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4725))
- Trade signs can no longer be used to dupe items when players have nearly-full inventories. ([#4748](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4748))
- The update checker now falls back to a proxy provided by EssentialsX in the event that GitHub is unresponsive. ([#4816](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4816))
- **Discord:** The command executor used on Paper now works on the latest Paper versions and uses Paper's command forwarding API where available. ([#4791](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4791), [#4794](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4794))
- **Discord:** Advancement notifications now work on 1.12.2. ([#4826](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4826))
##### Regressions fixed from 2.19.3 dev builds
There are no known regressions in 2.19.3 dev builds.
#### Changes for developers
##### EssentialsX now builds with Gradle 7.4
The build script has been updated to Gradle 7.4. Various build plugins have also been updated, including an update to `run-paper` to fix the `runServer` tasks which broke following an update to Paper's download API in late 2021. (The `runServer` tasks will be updated to use Paper 1.18.2 during the 2.20.x development cycle.)

If you've got any spare change, you can click one of the buttons below to support the EssentialsX project: [](https://www.patreon.com/essentialsx) [](https://ko-fi.com/essentialsx) [](https://togithub.com/sponsors/EssentialsX/) #### Supported server versions EssentialsX officially supports the CraftBukkit, Spigot, and [Paper](https://papermc.io) server software. Specifically, EssentialsX is designed to work on the following Minecraft versions: - ✅ `1.18.2` and `1.19.2` - EssentialsX actively develops against and supports these versions. - ⚠️ `1.8.8`, `1.9.4`, `1.10.2`, `1.11.2`, `1.12.2`, `1.13.2`, `1.14.4`, `1.15.2`, `1.16.5`, and `1.17.1` - these versions are still supported, but are not a priority for us, and may be dropped in a future release. **We recommend using the latest version of Paper**. EssentialsX includes significant improvements that require Paper, including: - Paper's async chunk loading reduces lag spikes during player teleports. CraftBukkit and Spigot do not support async chunk loading from plugins. - `/anvil`, `/grindstone`, `/cartographytable`, `/loom`, `/smithingtable`, `/stonecutter` are only supported on Paper. CraftBukkit and Spigot do not support the API needed for these. - `/recipe` on 1.12+ requires Paper to avoid a dupe bug introduced by CraftBukkit and Spigot. - Paper properly shows colours in EssentialsX's console log messages, including EssentialsX Chat messages. - Paper contains countless overall performance optimisations over CraftBukkit and Spigot. - Paper supports all properly-written plugins for CraftBukkit and Spigot. EssentialsX does **not** support the following Minecraft versions or server software: - 🛑 "Ultra-performance" Paper forks including Akarin, Yatopia, and similar projects - these often perform non-standard behaviour and can break your worlds and installed plugins. - 🛑 Mohist - **[The Mohist project is known to be sketchy, and has, in the past, tricked users into deleting official EssentialsX jars and installing an unofficial build.](https://essentialsx.net/do-not-use-mohist.html)** We cannot guarantee the safety or functionality of unofficial builds of EssentialsX; you should avoid using Mohist where possible. - 🛑 Other Forge/Bukkit hybrid servers including Cauldron, Thermos, Magma, CatServer - EssentialsX is built for the Bukkit API, which does not properly support mods. For modded servers, use [SpongeForge](https://www.spongepowered.org/) and [Nucleus](https://nucleuspowered.org/), or an alternative mod for [Forge or Fabric](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods). - 🛑 `1.7.10` or below. #### Upgrading to 2.19.7 If you're upgrading from **2.19.3 or above**, you can keep your current EssentialsX config file. There have been no changes to the configuration since that release. Upgrading from 2.19.2 or older versions of EssentialsX? See the [previous update changelogs](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases). #### Known issues ##### Anchor charges deplete on Spigot even when EssentialsX Spawn overrides the spawn location On CraftBukkit and Spigot, anchor charges will deplete regardless of the `respawn-at-anchor` due to an [unfixed bug in CraftBukkit](https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-5989). This bug has been patched in Paper. ##### Vanilla signed chat commands may show EssentialsX formatting on 1.19.1+ If you use any vanilla commands that send secure chat messages (including `/minecraft:msg` or `/minecraft:me`), you may see formatting from EssentialsX Chat in these messages. This is due to an implementation quirk in Spigot, which forces plugins to handle all secure previews for vanilla chat commands as if they were public chat messages. There is no known workaround for this at this time, but you can continue to use unsigned commands from EssentialsX and other plugins as normal. #### Bug fixes ##### Bugs fixed from 2.19.6 and older versions - Using `/sudo` to send a chat message as another user will no longer send their previewed message. ([#5062](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5062)) - To prevent item loss, users can no longer use `/invsee` on themselves. ([#5061](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5061)) - The `/ess dump` command no longer errors on 1.8.8. ([#5067](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5067)) - Various notifications (including bans/kicks/mutes and `/helpop`) now show colors properly in the console. ([#5075](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5075)) - Users with RGB permissions but without color permissions can now use RGB color codes properly. ([#5076](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5076)) - Backup scripts now properly log errors again. ([#5077](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5077)) - The `/baltop` command now works in command blocks. ([#5078](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5078)) - **Chat:** Local chat messages are no longer sent globaly. ([#5062](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5062)) ##### Regressions fixed from 2.19.7 dev builds There are no known regressions in 2.19.7 dev builds. #### Changes for developers There are no API changes in this release! *** For a full commit log, [click here](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/compare/2.19.6...2.19.7). ### [`v2.19.6`](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases/tag/2.19.6) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/compare/2.19.5...2.19.6) **EssentialsX 2.19.6 is here!** 🎉 This release features slight additions, support for Minecraft 1.19.2, and several bug fixes.

See the [previous update changelogs](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases). #### Important change: EssentialsX Chat now supports secure chat ([#5030](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5030)) Minecraft 1.19.1 introduced a new Player Reporting feature on the client, allowing players to report chat messages to Mojang in-game. The server now has a secure chat system which allows players to preview and "sign" their chat messages, which ensures players can't use client mods to fabricate reports with fake messages. If the game can't verify a message, it will show a yellow warning indicator. As of 2.19.6, EssentialsX Chat supports chat previews. Once you enable chat previews in your `server.properties` file, EssentialsX Chat will send back previews to players so they can send secure "signed" messages without the yellow warning indicator. Players will need to accept previews when they join the server. They will also need to wait a second between finishing their message and pressing Enter to ensure their message gets previewed and signed. #### Known issues ##### Anchor charges deplete on Spigot even when EssentialsX Spawn overrides the spawn location On CraftBukkit and Spigot, anchor charges will deplete regardless of the `respawn-at-anchor` due to an [unfixed bug in CraftBukkit](https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-5989). This bug has been patched in Paper. ##### Vanilla signed chat commands may show EssentialsX formatting on 1.19.1+ If you use any vanilla commands that send secure chat messages (including `/minecraft:msg` or `/minecraft:me`), you may see formatting from EssentialsX Chat in these messages. This is due to an implementation quirk in Spigot, which forces plugins to handle all secure previews for vanilla chat commands as if they were public chat messages. There is no known workaround for this at this time, but you can continue to use unsigned commands from EssentialsX and other plugins as normal. #### New features ##### EssentialsX now supports 1.19.2 ([#4932](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4932), [#4966](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4966), [#5026](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5026), [#5027](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5027), [#5035](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5035)) EssentialsX now has full support for Minecraft 1.19.2, including support for the new Wild Update items in `/give`, `/item` and kits, new mobs, and new NMS/OBC mappings for accessing internal CraftBukkit code. EssentialsX also no longer warns when installed on 1.19.2 servers. ##### Other additions - Translations have been updated with the latest community contributions on Crowdin.

([#4913](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4913)) - Users who are flying while afk while `freeze-afk-players` is set to `true` will no longer be teleported to the ground. ([#4944](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4944)) - Path and farmland blocks are no longer considered solid blocks. ([#4915](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4915)) - The `minecraft:` namespace no longer gives an error in the `/give` command.

([#4877](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4877)) - Users who stop being afk no longer fail to count towards the sleep count in some cases. ([#4985](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4985)) - The `/nick` command now shows your nickname even with `change-displayname` disabled in the config. ([#4980](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4980)) - `/ess dump` no longer reports offline mode for servers behind Velocity on Paper 1.19 and above. ([#5052](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5052)) - **Discord:** Console messages in Paper 1.18.2+ properly filter ANSI color codes once again. ([#4942](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4942)) - **Discord:** Numerous discord formatting issues have been fixed in relation to slash commands.

([#5009](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/5009)) ##### Regressions fixed from 2.19.5 and 2.19.6 dev builds - Essentials no longer fails to load on versions 1.8.8 through 1.12.2. ([#4975](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4975)) - Local chat allows you to send messages that are 1 character long without sending in public chat.

EssentialsX does **not** support the following Minecraft versions or server software: - 🛑 "Ultra-performance" Paper forks including Akarin, Yatopia, and similar projects - these often perform non-standard behaviour and can break your worlds and installed plugins. - 🛑 Mohist - **[The Mohist project is known to be sketchy, and has, in the past, tricked users into deleting official EssentialsX jars and installing an unofficial build.](https://essentialsx.net/do-not-use-mohist.html)** We cannot guarantee the safety or functionality of unofficial builds of EssentialsX; you should avoid using Mohist where possible. - 🛑 Other Forge/Bukkit hybrid servers including Cauldron, Thermos, Magma, CatServer - EssentialsX is built for the Bukkit API, which does not properly support mods. For modded servers, use [SpongeForge](https://www.spongepowered.org/) and [Nucleus](https://nucleuspowered.org/), or an alternative mod for [Forge or Fabric](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods). - 🛑 `1.7.10` or below. #### Upgrading to 2.19.4 2.19.4 is a drop-in replacement for 2.19.3. If you're upgrading from 2.19.2, you can keep your current EssentialsX config file. However, 2.19.4 adds some new options that you may want to configure, and to do so you'll need to either update your config or add the new settings to your existing config. See the [2.19.3 changelog](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases/tag/2.19.3) for more details. Upgrading from 2.19.2 or older versions of EssentialsX? See the [previous update changelogs](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases). #### Known issues ##### Anchor charges deplete on Spigot even when EssentialsX Spawn overrides the spawn location On CraftBukkit and Spigot, anchor charges will deplete regardless of the `respawn-at-anchor` due to an [unfixed bug in CraftBukkit](https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-5989). This bug has been patched in Paper. ##### EssentialsX Discord hangs on single core systems on outdated versions of JDK 17 Due to [a known bug in OpenJDK 17.0.1](https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8274349), EssentialsX Discord may hang during startup when running in a single-core environment. Due to the nature of the JDK bug, there is nothing EssentialsX can do directly to fix this. You can fix this by updating your Java version to 17.0.2 or later. If you are unable to change your Java version, please contact your server host for help. (You can alternatively add `-Djava.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.common.parallelism=1` to your startup flags to attempt to mitigate the issue. However, this should be used as a **last resort only**. OpenJDK 17.0.2 fixes this issue and should be used instead of this workaround.) #### Bug fixes ##### Bugs fixed from 2.19.3 and older versions These bugs existed in 2.19.3 and have been fixed in this release. - **IMPORTANT: after upgrading to 2.19.3, `[Trade]` signs would change owner when used. This has been fixed.** ([#4835](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4835)) - EssentialsX no longer spits out errors if the plugin shuts down while an update check is running. ([#4839](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4839)) ##### Regressions fixed from 2.19.4 dev builds There are no known regressions in 2.19.4 dev builds. *** For a full commit log, [click here](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/compare/2.19.3...2.19.4). ### [`v2.19.3`](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases/tag/2.19.3) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/compare/2.19.2...2.19.3) **EssentialsX 2.19.3 is here!** 🎉 This release features new chat features, support for Minecraft 1.18.2 and several bug fixes.

EssentialsX is designed to work on the following Minecraft versions: - ✅ `1.17.1` and `1.18.2` - EssentialsX actively develops against and supports these versions. - ⚠️ `1.8.8`, `1.9.4`, `1.10.2`, `1.11.2`, `1.12.2`, `1.13.2`, `1.14.4`, `1.15.2`, and `1.16.5` - these versions are still supported, but are not a priority for us, and may be dropped in a future release. **We recommend using the latest version of Paper**. EssentialsX includes significant improvements that require Paper, including: - Paper's async chunk loading reduces lag spikes during player teleports. CraftBukkit and Spigot do not support async chunk loading from plugins. - `/anvil`, `/grindstone`, `/cartographytable`, `/loom`, `/smithingtable`, `/stonecutter` are only supported on Paper. CraftBukkit and Spigot do not support the API needed for these. - `/recipe` on 1.12+ requires Paper to avoid a dupe bug introduced by CraftBukkit and Spigot. - Paper contains countless overall performance optimisations over CraftBukkit and Spigot. - Paper supports all properly-written plugins for CraftBukkit and Spigot.

This may be useful if you want to use a third-party chat formatting plugin while still letting EssentialsX handle nicknames. ##### EssentialsX Chat: Enhanced local and global chat features ([#4535](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4535)) This release builds on both Essentials' legacy chat features and the new `/toggleshout` command introduced in 2.19.0, adding several new `config.yml` options and more permissions to control local and global chat modes! ##### Config option to control whether players default to local or shout chat You can now toggle whether players default to local chat mode or shout mode when they log in using the `chat.shout-default` option: ```yaml chat: ... ### Whether players should be placed into shout mode by default. shout-default: false ``` ##### Config option to control whether `/toggleshout` should persist across server restarts You can now let players keep their `/toggleshout` setting when the server restarts using the `chat.persist-shout` option: ```yaml chat: ... ### Whether a player's shout mode should persist restarts. persist-shout: false ``` ##### Config option to enable or disable question chat mode You can now control whether questions (by default, messages starting with `?` and sent in a unique chat channel) are enabled or disabled on your server using the `chat.question-enabled` option: ```yaml chat: ... ### Whether chat questions should be enabled or not. question-enabled: true ``` ##### New permissions for sending and receiving chats Essentials previously had `essentials.chat.shout` and `essentials.chat.question` permissions, which let you control whether or not players can send shout or question messages respectively. You can now enable or disable the following new permissions (all of which default to true): - `essentials.chat.local` allows players to *send* messages in local chat - `essentials.chat.receive.shout` allows players to *receive* **shout** chat messages - `essentials.chat.receive.question` allows players to *receive* **question** chat messages - `essentials.chat.receive.local` allows players to *receive* **local** chat messages ##### Local chat prefix when in shout mode If a player **enables** shout mode with `/toggleshout`, any messages they send with the shout prefix (`!` by default) will now be sent to local chat. ##### Other additions - The output of `/near` is now translatable. ([#4740](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4740)) - You can now use decimal places in `/tppos`. ([#4729](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4729)) - The `/ess dump` command can now include the settings files for random teleports (`tpr.yml`), `/sell` values (`worth.yml`) and EssentialsX Spawn (`spawn.yml`). ([#4785](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4785)) - `[trade]` (and deprecated `[protection]`) signs now save their owners' UUIDs on Minecraft 1.14 and above, and should no longer break when the owner changes their username. ([#4713](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4713)) - You can now change the `tree-command-range-limit` setting (defaults to `300`) in `config.yml` to limit how far away `/tree` and `/bigtree` can place trees. ([#4728](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4728)) #### Bug fixes ##### Bugs fixed from 2.19.2 and older versions These bugs existed in 2.19.2 and have been fixed in this release. - Unused legacy data storage code has been removed. ([#4707](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4707)) - EssentialsX no longer uses deprecated Paper methods for chat component serialisation. ([#4706](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4706)) - Safe teleports on older versions of Minecraft no longer break. ([#4708](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4708)) - Safe teleports now use the world's true minimum height instead of hardcoding y=0. ([#4715](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4715)) - The update checker no longer spams the console when a GitHub ratelimit is encountered. ([#4731](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4731)) - `/tpaccept` without any arguments now accepts the most recent teleport request when multiple are queued. ([#4755](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4755)) - EssentialsX and EssentialsX AntiBuild no longer cause Spigot to load legacy material support. ([#4697](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4697)) - The `vanishing-items-policy` and `binding-items-policy` config options now apply to the offhand. ([#4725](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4725)) - Trade signs can no longer be used to dupe items when players have nearly-full inventories. ([#4748](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4748)) - The update checker now falls back to a proxy provided by EssentialsX in the event that GitHub is unresponsive. ([#4816](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4816)) - **Discord:** The command executor used on Paper now works on the latest Paper versions and uses Paper's command forwarding API where available. ([#4791](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4791), [#4794](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4794)) - **Discord:** Advancement notifications now work on 1.12.2. ([#4826](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/issues/4826)) ##### Regressions fixed from 2.19.3 dev builds There are no known regressions in 2.19.3 dev builds. #### Changes for developers ##### EssentialsX now builds with Gradle 7.4 The build script has been updated to Gradle 7.4. Various build plugins have also been updated, including an update to `run-paper` to fix the `runServer` tasks which broke following an update to Paper's download API in late 2021. (The `runServer` tasks will be updated to use Paper 1.18.2 during the 2.20.x development cycle.) *** For a full commit log, [click here](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/compare/2.19.2...2.19.3). ### [`v2.19.2`](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/releases/tag/2.19.2) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/compare/2.19.0...2.19.2) This release is a hotfix for an issue in the Discord module.
