Essentials offers over 100 commands useful on just about every Minecraft server,
from kits to mob spawning.

Essentials is the de-facto standard set up for Minecraft servers. From small
servers running on on desktops, VPS hosts and dedicated Minecraft services.
Essentials is one of the most popular Bukkit plugins ever made, and runs on
everything from small one person home hosted Windows servers, to huge 500+ slot
dedicated Linux community servers.

1 JANUARY 2016

> Future Update: While Sponge is still looking to be the best contender for the
> next iteration of Minecraft server hosting, I've been thus far unable to put
> together a team with the commitment and time to rewrite Essentials for Sponge.
> In the meantime a number of projects have come out for Sponge with the goal of
> filling the gap left by Essentials, meaning it isn't as important to port
> Essentials to Sponge.
> While the project is not dead yet, and I still hope for a possible
> resurrection, I wish the best of luck to the new 'Essentials' projects.

24 JULY 2015

> Alternative Projects: EssentialsX
> Since the official end of the Essentials for Bukkit project, drtshock and his
> team have taken up the mantel of keeping Essentials alive.
> The details of this project can be found here:
> https://github.com/drtshock/Essentials

25 OCTOBER 2014

> Future Plans: After looking through the alternatives, I'm convinced the best
> way forward for the Minecraft server community is to embrace Sponge.
> While I don't have the time to work on the project myself, I'm hoping to be
> able to put together a team to work on Essentials for Sponge, when Sponge
> comes closer to being feature complete.
> This won't be for some time, as Sponge has got a lot of work to catch up on,
> to get back to the same coverage as Bukkit, but ultimately, due to native mod
> support, I think we will be much better off than we were on the Bukkit
> platform.

By KHobbits






6 SEPTEMBER 2014

> Project Update: The FINAL version of Essentials for Bukkit has been released.
> Essentials will not be updating for 1.8, 1.9 or future Spigot releases.
> Due to recent changes in my available free time (I'm working long hours at
> work), and the recommendation of my legal council regarding the Bukkit DMCA
> situation, I will not be updating the Essentials for Bukkit project going
> forward. Essentials is however an open source project so I'm sure there will
> be many forks of this project going forward.
