EssentialsC / Economy

Economy

Balance management, player payments, admin economy controls, and leaderboards.

Overview

EssentialsC ships a full virtual economy system with per-player balances stored in SQLite. It registers itself as a Vault economy provider so any plugin that reads balances through Vault will automatically use EssentialsC's economy.

The economy tracks player balances, transaction history, and top balances. It supports negative balances, a configurable max balance cap, and mass admin operations via the @everyone wildcard.

Vault Integration

When Vault is present on the server, EssentialsC automatically registers itself as the economy provider. Any plugin that reads balances through Vault - chest shops, auction plugins, buy/signs, etc. - will use EssentialsC's economy without any additional configuration.

If you have another economy plugin registered with Vault (such as CMI or a dedicated economy plugin), remove it or disable its Vault hook to avoid conflicts. Only one Vault economy provider can be active at a time.
