Essentials seems to be taking over my bans,kicks and mutes and not following the priority system message back for more details.

So where are your details

What do you want to have is what im asking

Either use EssentialsX or use Spigot's fork

confuser could I have a link please?

I highly recommend using EssentialsX as it is actively maintained while Spigots Essentials just have been updated to run somehow on 1.8 and/or 1.9.

Grab it here:

Also note that there are a few changes compared to Essentials. Check their wiki on github.

I am already using the latest version of essentialsx

EssentialsX/Essentials#530

@timothydavidhart can you raise a bug with them please then? I know Essentials does some wrapping around other plugin commands, and it should give other plugins priority. I'm not aware of any compatibility issues I can fix on my side, but it'd be good to know if there are.

rip undetailed reports.
