Description
π₯ HyEssentialsX - The Modern Essentials Core for Hytale
HyEssentialsX is a full-featured essentials plugin built from the ground up for Hytale servers.
It is not a clone, not a port, and not a pile of disconnected commands. HyEssentialsX is designed as a modern server core for SMPs, RPG worlds, economy servers, survival networks, community hubs, and custom progression servers that need powerful systems without stacking a dozen separate plugins.
Shops, auction house, economy, playtime, rankups, holograms, moderation, player warps, teleportation, kits, stats, leaderboards, scoreboards, mail, custom commands, storage backends, migration tools, and polished in-game UIs are all built into one configurable plugin.
