Essentials commands

Everyday utility commands: homes, warps, TPA, kits, and more.

Updated 13d ago

These are the everyday commands from JExEssentials: getting around, managing homes and warps, trading teleports, claiming kits, and the small quality-of-life tools you reach for every session. Staff and moderation commands are not listed here.

In short

Homes, warps, TPA, kits, item tools, and utility commands for everyday play. Use /help for in-game search.
