Items and Tools

EssentialsLite adds item editing, item delivery, portable workstations, and utility inventories. Check the command permission before assigning access; a command with -- in the command reference has no separate permission node listed.

Item Commands

Command Example Permission Gate or limit
/give /give Alex diamond 3 essentials.give essentials.give.others controls giving to others; item type also needs essentials.give.item-all or essentials.give.item-<material>.
/item /item essentials.item Edit the item in hand. Alias: /i.
/lore /lore essentials.lore Maximum 100 characters per line and 20 lore lines.
/enchant /enchant sharpness 5 essentials.enchant Unsafe enchantments are disabled by default. Alias: /eenchant.

/hat /hat No separate node listed Wear the held item as a hat.
/clear /clear No separate node listed Clear inventory.

The item permission value is lowercase and runtime-created. For example, granting essentials.give.item-diamond permits diamonds without granting every material. essentials.give.item-all permits any item type.

Safe Item Configuration

The audited defaults cap movement speed at 1.0, permit at most 100 characters per lore line and 20 lines, disable unsafe enchantments, and restrict spawner types to the configured whitelist. Keep those limits in the shipped configuration unless the server policy requires otherwise.
