What's installed on the server, in plain English. JARs are auto-updated by PluginPortal (in [PP] brackets in the filenames), so versions drift over time — what's listed here is the function, not the version.
EssentialsX
Core commands: home, tpa, msg, balance, pay. The backbone of any modern survival server. Kit shortcuts (/kit tools, /kit food), nicknames, godmode for staff.
LuckPerms
Permissions and ranks. Players start with the default rank. Higher ranks like vip or moderator are granted manually by staff.
AuthMe
Login plugin. When you first join, you register a password (and optionally an email). On every reconnect, you log in with that password. Without it, anyone could grab your username and impersonate you — but since online-mode=false lets cracked clients join, the username alone isn't enough. AuthMe binds the username to your IP + password for the session.
GriefPrevention
Region protection for builds. Claim land by right-clicking a stick (or whatever claim tool you've been given) at two corners of the area you want. Other players can't break/place blocks inside your claim unless you trust them. Simpler than WorldGuard, fewer knobs — fits this server.
CoreProtect (RC2c)
Block-by-block rollback. If your base gets griefed, staff can roll back the damage to a specific timestamp. Doesn't help if the grief happened weeks ago and the area has been built over since.
TAB
The player list on the tab screen and the scoreboard sidebar. Also handles chat prefixes/suffixes per rank. If you've ever seen a colored name in chat or on the tab list, that's this plugin.
BlueMap + BlueMapMarker + BlueMapPlayerControl
BlueMap itself renders the 3D web map at mcm.seonbi.lt. Updates every few minutes, isometric + top-down + surface views.
BlueMapMarker adds markers (waypoints, signs, regions) to the map so they're discoverable. BlueMapPlayerControl extends controls for player models on the map UI.
PlayerStatsAPI
Tracks playtime, deaths, first-seen, last-seen. The website's "players online" widget and "last seen" list read from this plugin over HTTP on the loopback interface. Not exposed publicly.
Skript + skript-db
Skript lets the owner run small custom scripts (.sk files under plugins/Skript/scripts) without writing a full Java plugin. We use it for join/leave messages and a couple of chat filters.
skript-db is the database addon — gives Skript scripts access to SQLite so they can persist state across restarts.
Plan
Player analytics dashboard. Shows TPS history, per-player load, chunk-loaded areas, and session stats. Useful for staff when diagnosing lag.
Simple Voice Chat
Proximity voice chat. Install the mod on your client (Forge / Fabric / Bedrock-compatible), join the server, and you can talk to players nearby in-game. Optional — turn it off in the mod's settings if you don't want it.
BetterCoords
Client-side mod support (companion). Lets players share coordinates, waypoints, and look-at-positions across the server. No server-side effect unless the player has the mod installed.
Geyser-Spigot + Floodgate + AutoUpdateGeyser
Geyser-Spigot lets Bedrock clients (Android, iOS, Xbox, PlayStation) join a Java server — it translates Bedrock protocol to Java on the server side.
Floodgate is the auth bridge that lets Bedrock players join without a Java Edition account. It generates a Java-shaped username from the Bedrock player's gamertag.
AutoUpdateGeyser keeps Geyser + Floodgate up-to-date automatically, since they need to match Paper's version closely.
RealTime
Shows your local real-world time in chat or on screen, synced via the server clock. Mostly cosmetic.
spark
Profiler. Staff can run /spark profiler start to capture a 60-second CPU sample of the server, then /spark profiler stop to upload it. Useful when investigating lag.
PaperMCP
Custom plugin that exposes Paper server commands (and Skript-driven helpers) over a controlled HTTP interface to the hermes MCP agent on this host. Whitelisted commands only; everything else is rejected. Not exposed publicly.
PluginPortal (Premium)
The plugin manager / updater. PluginPortal watches the JARs in plugins/ and the [PP] name (source).jar filenames track updates from Modrinth / Hangar / SpigotMC. You don't interact with it directly — it runs in the background.
bStats
Anonymous metrics collector for plugin authors. Sends counts of how many servers are running each plugin, plus basic OS/Java versions. No player data, no chat logs. Standard across the Bukkit/Spigot/Paper ecosystem.
Not installed
- WorldGuard / WorldEdit — replaced by GriefPrevention for claims; staff has direct access to bedrock for editing. Less surface area, fewer features.
- Vault — Economy plugin bridge. Not used because Essentials' built-in economy isn't surfaced to other plugins here.
- EssentialsXChat — chat formatting is handled by TAB instead.
