Dan's Essentials Guide

0

User Guide

Prerequisites

  • A Spigot or Paper Minecraft server (1.13 or later).
  • The Dan's Essentials plugin jar placed in your server's plugins/ folder.
  • Server operator (op) status or the appropriate permission nodes for commands you wish to use.

First Steps

After installing the plugin and restarting your server:

  1. Join your server.
  2. Run /de help to see the list of available commands.
  3. Review the Configuration Guide to adjust plugin settings if needed.

Common Scenarios

Toggling Flight

An operator can toggle flight for themselves or another player:

/de fly           # Toggle your own flight
/de fly <player>  # Toggle flight for another player (requires de.fly.others)

Setting Fly Speed

Adjust your flight speed (1–10):

/de flyspeed <number>

Switching Gamemode

/de gm 0   # Survival
/de gm 1   # Creative
/de gm 2   # Spectator

Broadcasting a Server-Wide Message

/de broadcast "Your message here"

The quotes are required; a message typed without them is rejected.

Muting and Unmuting Players

/de mute <player>    # Mute a player until they are unmuted (kept across restarts)
/de unmute <player>  # Unmute a player

Viewing Another Player's Inventory

/de invsee <player>

Clearing a Player's Inventory

/de clearinv <player>

Renaming an Item

Hold the item you want to rename and run:

/de label "New Name"

The quotes are required; a name typed without them is rejected.

Returning to Your Last Location

After teleporting, return to your previous location:

/de back

If you have not teleported yet, this returns you to where you joined the server. If no previous location is known, an error message is shown instead.

Getting Your Current Coordinates

/de getpos

Warp Signs

Operators can place warp signs to allow players to teleport to predefined coordinates. Create a sign with the following format:

[Warp]
<x>
<y>
<z>

Each of lines 2–4 must contain an integer coordinate. Requires the de.placeWarpSign permission to create and de.usewarpsign to use.

New Player Welcome

When a player joins the server for the first time, everyone online is sent Welcome <name> to the server!. This happens automatically and has no permission or configuration switch.
