You will be able to create a menu with items and you can assign configurable commands to it, such as making a context menu or a station to navigate your server, even a shop where users can buy and sell their items among many other things in this Minecraft plugin.

Plugin Multiverse CORE/PORTALS

This is a plugin that helps us manage worlds on our server. It allows us to create different types of worlds, seeds and custom generators.

We can also set a world to either creative or survival mode, and the Multiverse extension allows us to create portals that allow the user to travel between other worlds.

With the Multiverse-Core plugin you can add unlimited worlds to your server. To make a universe, you simply run the command /mv create <world_name>

If you want to add additional worlds to your server, this plugin is for you.

Multiverse Core is the most advanced multi-world plugin and is easy to use. Each world you add will use server elements, including your RAM. Take this into consideration when adding new worlds.

You can remove worlds that no longer require using the command /mv remove <world_name>

Plugin Luck Perms

This is a permissions add-on for your server that allows server administrators to control the features that players can use by creating classes and assigning permissions.

With this add-on, you can add classes to your server and restrict or allow player access to commands.

The additional permissions allow you to create classes and grant players different access rights, as well as create groups on the Minecraft server. Among other things, you can grant moderators moderator capabilities and grant them unique permissions.

This add-on also makes it easy to add chat preferences for certain classes or individuals if you are using EssentialsX Chat (or a similar chat format add-on).

We recommend LuckPerms because it has an easy-to-use web-based working platform and is actively maintained by developers.

A common alternative to LuckPerms that we also recommend is PermissionsEx. PermissionsEx is a good choice because it is well documented and there are several manuals for it. If you are not satisfied with LuckPerms, we recommend that you try PermissionsEx.

Plugin Essentials X

This is a very important plugin for the server. With this plugin you can create weapon sets and tools with the Spawner Mod.

This plugin also gives you access to more than five new controllers to make it easier to manage and play on the server. It also contributes to the server by creating a general economy.

Among other things, Essentials X allows us to change the default server origin, create one or more houses, welcome a user when they first log in, give a flyer to a specific user, enchant items with a command, access money, teleport a player, among other things.
