VIP Plugins zEssentials - Best Essentials/CMI/SunLight Alternative !

• Added text mails to the mailbox module, to send a message to a player who is not connected (modules/mailbox/config.yml):
  • /mail send <player> <message> works with an online or offline player, /mail read displays the received mails and marks them as read, /mail clearmessages [player] deletes them and /mail sendall <message> sends a mail to every online player
  • A player who connects with unread mails is notified with a clickable message (message-notify-on-join, message-notify-delay)
  • Configurable limits: message-max-amount per player, message-max-length, message-cooldown between two mails (bypassed with essentials.bypass.cooldown) and message-date-format
  • A muted player cannot send a mail, and a player who used /ignore no longer receives the mails of the ignored player
  • Persistence via a new user_mail_messages table (SQLite and MySQL) and inside the user file for the JSON storage, unlike the item mailbox which stays MySQL only
  • New permissions essentials.mail.send, essentials.mail.read, essentials.mail.send.all and essentials.mail.clear.messages
• Fixed the build of the NMS:V26_2 module: since Minecraft 26.1 the built in entity types are declared in EntityTypes and no longer in EntityType, so EntityType.BLOCK_DISPLAY, ITEM_DISPLAY and TEXT_DISPLAY could not be resolved anymore
• Fixed shadowJar failing with Unsupported class file major version 69 — the NMS:V26_2 module still builds with a Java 25 toolchain (needed to read the 26.2 dev bundle) but now emits Java 21 bytecode, which the ASM version bundled with the shadow plugin can remap
• Added a new custom commands module (modules/customcommands/config.yml) to create your own commands without any other plugin, for /discord, /map, /vote, /store, /updates...
  • Each command can define aliases, a permission, a description, a cooldown in seconds (bypassed with essentials.bypass.cooldown) and a list of messages
  • type selects how the content is displayed: TCHAT, CENTER, ACTION, TITLE, BOSSBAR or NONE
  • MiniMessage, legacy colors and PlaceholderAPI placeholders are supported, so <clickpen_url:'...'> can be used to display clickable links
  • zMenu actions can be run after the messages (sound, command, inventory, ...)
  • Commands are registered at runtime and /ezreload updates them without duplicating anything; a custom command that would override an existing zEssentials command is refused with a message in the console
• Added display options for /seen in modules/sanction/config.yml — seen-show-uuid, seen-show-ip, seen-show-last-location, seen-show-created-at and seen-show-playtime. The IP address can now be hidden globally, even from operators: until now it was only protected by the essentials.seen.show.ip permission, which an operator always has
• Fixed several configuration options being silently ignored: they were declared as private final fields with a constant initializer, so javac inlined them at compile time and the value read from the configuration file was never used
  • Sanction module: date-format, kick-default-reason, ban-default-reason, mute-default-reason, unmute-default-reason, unban-default-reason
  • Spawn module: respawn-listener-priority and spawn-join-listener-priority — the respawn and join listeners were always registered with the NORMAL priority instead of the configured one (HIGHEST by default)
  • Worldedit module: enable-color-visualisation and open-help-inventory
• Clarified the /compact and /compactall descriptions to mention their existing /condense and /condenseall aliases
• Fixed the chat ping sound not playing on Paper 1.21.3+ — org.bukkit.Sound became an interface, so the ping sound is now resolved cross-version through the zMenu XSound API (like the teleportation sounds)
• Fixed countdown/teleport placeholders (%name%, %seconds%, ...) showing as raw text when the message type is set to TITLE or BOSSBAR — internal placeholders are now resolved for every message type
• Added /pingsound command (/pingsounds alias) to toggle the chat ping sound per player; the enable-player-ping-sound global toggle is now honored
• Added /tp <player1> <player2> — teleport one player to another player
• Added a player ignore system with persistence (user_ignores table):
  • /ignore <player> blocks a player's private messages and teleport requests (/tpa, /tpahere)
  • /unignore <player> and /ignorelist (/ignores alias)
  • Works for online and offline targets, persists across restarts (MySQL and JSON storage)
• Added /delhome-other <player> <home> (/delhomeother, /hdelother aliases) — admin command to delete a specific home of another player (online or offline), with permission essentials.del.home.other
• Added persistence for /ptime and /pweather — the per-player time and weather are now saved and re-applied automatically when the player reconnects
• Fixed private messages to a vanished player revealing their presence when they had ignored the sender — the vanish check now takes precedence over the ignore check
• Removed the non-functional itemadders-font-regex chat config options (the feature was never wired) and corrected the /sc reference in the chat config comment (it is /chathistory)
• Added a Homes system enhancement (see modules/home/config.yml):
  • Public homes — /homepublic <home> makes a home visitable by everyone, /publichomes [player] lists them (in chat or a paginated GUI via public-homes-display: CHAT|INVENTORY); visit with /home <player>:<home> (permissions essentials.home.public, essentials.home.visit, configurable max-public-homes)
  • Shared homes — /homeshare <home> <player>, /homeunshare, /homeshares to share a home with specific players (online or offline); shares are purged when the home is deleted (permission essentials.home.share, max-shared-per-home)
  • Categories — /homecategory <home> <category> to organise homes (permission essentials.home.category), placeholder %category%
  • Favorites — /homefavorite <home> to mark a home as favorite; favorite-first shows favorites at the top (permission essentials.home.favorite), placeholder %favorite%
  • Preview — optional enable-home-preview shows a clickable confirmation before teleporting
  • Import — /homeimport essentialsx imports homes from EssentialsX (permission essentials.home.import)
  • Persistence via new is_public/category/is_favorite columns on user_homes and a new user_home_shares table (MySQL and JSON storage)
• Updated zMenu to 1.1.1.6 and added support for Minecraft/Paper 26.2:
  • Added a new NMS:V26_2 module (built against the 26.2.build.+ dev bundle, compiled with Java 25 which Minecraft 26.x requires)
  • Migrated the whole plugin to Mojang mappings — Paper 26.1+ removed Spigot reobfuscation, so every NMS module now uses MOJANG_PRODUCTION and the shaded jar is marked paperweight-mappings-namespace: mojang
  • zEssentials is now Paper-only and requires Paper 1.20.5+ — Minecraft 1.20.4 is no longer supported (Mojang-mapped plugins only load on 1.20.5+)
  • Replaced the removed zMenu NmsVersion enum with the new MinecraftVersion API for version detection and NMS package resolution (NmsVersionUtils)
  • Bumped paperweight-userdev to 2.0.0-beta.21

Update for version: 1.0.3.7

• Updated zMenu to version 1.1.1.2
• Updated Sarah to version 1.23
• Added generic Bukkit event-based permission checker for WorldEdit module — blocks in protected claims (HuskClaims, GriefPrevention, Lands, Towny, etc.) are now automatically skipped without needing a specific hook #237
• Added configurable sounds for teleportation countdown and completion (countdown-sound and complete-sound in modules/teleportation/config.yml), supports custom sounds via the zMenu XSound API
• Added warp lookup cache with O(1) HashMap for improved performance #239
• Fixed home deletion from donut GUI showing "The home ? does not exist." — /delhome now opens the confirmation GUI when homeDeleteConfirm is enabled
• Fixed cancelled TPA requests still being accepted — /tpacancel now properly removes the request from the target player's incoming requests
• Fixed vault admin command permission check bypassed for admin access
• Fixed chat URL pattern not matching URLs with special characters (~, +, #)
• Fixed chat link transform regex replacement error with special characters

• Added /itemframe command (/iframe alias), toggles visibility of the item frame you're looking at

  • Three modes: DISABLE (no messages), DEFAULT (vanilla), CUSTOM (configurable)
  • Support for player kills, vanilla mobs, and MythicMobs creatures
  • Custom messages per death cause (FALL, DROWNING, FIRE, LAVA, etc.)
  • Random message selection when multiple messages are configured
  • Placeholders: %player%, %displayName%, %killer%, %mob%, %cause%, %weapon%
  • Permission essentials.silent.death for silent deaths
  • /deathmessage command to toggle death message visibility (/dm, /deathmsg aliases)
• Added MythicMobs hook for custom mob death messages
• Added /tptoggle command to toggle receiving teleport requests #226
• Added TPA queue system - accept/deny all requests at once #228
