Minecraft/Essentials
Allow TNT
We use http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/antitnt and http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-mods/naughty-blocks which means we can have TNT enabled but then only provide users access via the permissions AntiTNT.tnt and naughtyblocks.tnt
Essentials and WorldGuard don't. If you are using Essentials and WorldGuard do this:
vim plugins/Essentials/config.yml
10 = lava :: 11 = still lava :: 46 = TNT :: 327 = lava bucket
Default:
alert:
on-placement: 10,11,46,327
on-use: 327
on-break:
placement: 10,11,46,327
Remove 46 from the placement line.
Ensure plugins/WorldGuard/config.yml has the following:
ignition:
block-tnt: false
block-tnt-block-damage: false
Find players home
To view all homes a player has set:
/home Player:
To go to a player's set home.
/home Player:Home
Get user's coordinates
If you have Essentials, use /getpos PlayerName
Kill specific mob/s
/killall MobName (e.g. Blaze)
Mail players
/mail send FullPlayerName Message
To read the mail, do /mail read
To clear the mail, do /mail clear
Multiple homes
If you have the following permissions:
essentials.home.bed > Allow access to the vanilla bed home.
essentials.sethome.multiple > Allows player to have multiple homes, or create named homes. Required for 2+ homes.
essentials.sethome.bed > Allows the player to right click a bed during daytime to update their 'bed' home.
You will only see the list of homes you have using /home if you have more than two homes set, including the default bed (/home bed) and the first one you set using /sethome
Respawn at home instead of spawn
Change this:
When users die, should they respawn at their first home or bed, instead of the spawnpoint?
respawn-at-home: false
to
respawn-at-home: true
Set players home
The player can either sleep in a bed or use /sethome if they have access.
If not set, they will go back to spawn.
Set 2+ homes by doing:
/sethome Name
For example:
/sethome HOME3 /sethome Joe:HOME3
Set players spawn
If you have a few spawn plugins, and all go to the same spawn except when new players first join, try to do this:
/setspawn *default

Stop checking user's permissions
If you get the following message a lot in your server.log:
Essentials: checking if Player has plugin.permission - true/false
vim plugins/Essentials/config.yml
Set debug: to false.
Teleport player to you
/tpohere playername
Teleport to coordinates
/tppos x y z
Teleport to player
As OP, /tpo playername
As player, /tpa playername
