Version Support
Minecraft Version Support
TLDR; We support the latest version, but may drop support for older versions.
We aim to support as many Minecraft versions as possible, however this may not always be possible. We generally do not provide updates for older versions of Minecraft if Essence no longer supports it.
We may drop support for certain Minecraft versions due to technical limitations, vulnerabilities, or other reasons.
See the table above for a full list of supported Minecraft versions.
Essence Version Support
TLDR; If you're running a version of Essence that is still actively supported, we'll fix any and all bugs and issues.
We'll fix bugs and security issues in any versions of Essence that are in Active Support. If the version is no longer in Active Support we may not fix the issue.
If you're unusure if we'll fix something, ask! Open an issue on our GitHub and we'll advise there. You're welcome to fork Essence to fix bugs on older versions yourself if you wish to do so.
Folia Support
Essence supports Folia-based Minecraft Server Software in versions 1.4.0 and greater.
Unfortunately, due to how the Folia software works, some commands are currently disabled as we're not able to add support for them at this time due to technical reasons. If you'd like to help us add support for these commands on Folia-based servers, please open a pull request on our GitHub.
Disabled Command | Since | Reason |
|---|---|---|
/tprandom | 1.4.0 | Folia generates an exception when running this command due to the way RegionSchedulers work. |
Incompatabilities
Data packs
Nice Mobs Remastered: Friends & Foes - causes Essence's /team command to be spammed in the console.
