Upload the downloaded jar to the plugins folder.
Restart the server in the “Console” tab on the left-hand side of the panel. We do not recommend reloading the server as it may cause issues!
Install EssentialX Addons (OPTIONAL)
EssentialX has many add ons which improve the plugin experience. Some of these addons are used for chat formatting or even discord integration. To view all of the available addons, click here.

Click on “config.yml”. This will open a text editor in which you are able to edit the config.
Here are some useful config options that you may want to edit
nickname-prefix. This will show up next to names that have a nickname assigned to them. For example, With this option left as default, a user who has changed their name would look like ~MyNickname. To remove the ~, simply remove the ~ from the nickname-prefix line.
auto-afk and auto-afk-kick are some values which you may want to edit. auto-afk adjusts the amount of time that it takes for the person to be set as AFK. auto-afk-kick sets the amount of time when the user should be kicked after being X amount of time afk.
You are able to set your own custom player join/leave messages in the config. You can do this by editing the custom-join-message and custom-leave-message values. By default, they are set to none.
