/egive/give/kill/feedThis Minecraft plugin adds @a, @p, and @r to EssentialsX Commands! Works with command block and console aswell!
Just pop this into your server, and it will just work! No commands, no config no nothing! As simple as could be.
The very popular plugin EssentialsX, has never had support for target selectors like @a, or @p. And especially when working with command blocks, those selectors would be very helpful if they existed, But with this plugin, they do!
This plugin works with:
@a - all players @p - closest player @r - random player @s - yourself
Note: @p and @s can NOT be run from the server console, and @s can NOT be used in command blocks.
Examples:
Without plugin (normal EssentialsX)
/egive @a dirt -> Unknown player @a
/essentials:kill @p -> Unknown player @p
/give @r diamond 5 - > Unknown player @r
With Essentials Selectors Plugin:
/egive @a dirt -> gives every player on the server dirt
/essentials:kill @p -> kills the closest player
/give @r diamond 5 - > gives a random player 5 diamonds
There are also specifications for selectors, for example: "@r[gamemode=creative]"
Examples: - "/kill @a[gamemode=creative,tag="KillMe"]
There are 6 specifications that can be added to any selectors:
You can also add a "!" before a value to do the opposite. For example: "@A[tag=!"CoolTag"]"
Permissions are as follows:
This plugin does not replace EssentialsX! You still need to install the original EssentialsX plugin for this to work!
Disclaimer:
This plugin is an unofficial EssentialsX addon. This plugin does not use any code from EssentialsX.
