Needs Paper 1.21.4 to 26.3. Use Java 21 for 1.21.x and Java 25 for 26.x, as Paper requires. Your existing settings and player data carry over, and plugins like Vault and LuckPerms keep working.

Addon jars such as Chat and Spawn are not on this page yet. They have to match the main jar's version.

What is different from EssentialsX

Same plugin, with the rough edges worked on. The icon next to the heading lists exactly what changed.

  • Faster

    Startup and some commands do less work than they used to, so busy servers feel it less.

  • More stable

    Commands that could misbehave with unusual input now handle it, instead of giving odd results or errors.

  • One jar for Paper 1.21.4 to 26.3

    Every release from 1.21.4 through 26.3 is supported, with no unsupported version error.

  • Updates itself safely

    New versions are checked before they are installed, and they take effect on the next restart.

Install it

  1. Stop the server and remove EssentialsX-*.jar from plugins/.
  2. Drop the EssentialsY jar into plugins/. Any addon jars you use must be the same version.
  3. Start the server. Your existing configs and player data carry over.

Before you start

Paper 1.21.4 to 26.3, with Java 21 for 1.21.x or Java 25 for 26.x. Addon jars have to be the same version as the main jar.
