Economy
Built-in player balance system with optional Vault support.
Every player has a balance. MuteEssentials keeps track of it on its own, so you do not need a separate economy plugin to get started. Players earn and spend a single server-wide currency, and admins can adjust balances by hand.
How it works
- Each player has one balance, stored by MuteEssentials (locally, or in MySQL if you enabled shared storage).
- New players start with
StartBalance. - Players move money with
/pay; admins set, give or take with/eco. - Amounts are shown with your
Symbol(for example$100), and the currency has a name (Coin/Coins) used in messages.
If you later install other economy-aware plugins (shops, jobs, etc.), MuteEssentials can act as the shared economy provider through Vault, so everything reads and writes the same balances. See Vault below.
Commands
/money- check your balance (or another player's)/pay- send money to another player (atomic, both balances save together)/baltop- top 10 richest players/eco- admin:set,give,take
Configuration
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
StartBalance | Amount new players begin with. Set to 0 for a from-scratch economy. |
Symbol | Shown before amounts in /money, /baltop, the scoreboard and PlaceholderAPI. |
CurrencyNameSingular / CurrencyNamePlural | Currency name used in messages and reported to Vault. |
MaxPayAmount | Upper limit for a single /pay transfer (anti-abuse). |
VaultHook | When true and Vault is installed, MuteEssentials registers as the Vault economy provider. |
Vault
MuteEssentials does not require Vault - the economy works entirely on its own. Vault only matters when other plugins need to read balances.
With VaultHook: true and Vault installed, MuteEssentials registers as the economy provider at the highest priority. Shops, jobs and similar plugins then share the exact same balances players see in /money. If you already run a different economy plugin and want it to stay in charge, set VaultHook: false.
PlaceholderAPI
When PlaceholderAPI is installed, the balance is exposed to other plugins:
%muteessentials_balance%/%muteessentials_money%- the player's formatted balance
