EssentialsX for 1.14.x is here! This release includes 1.14.3 support, plus some new features and several bug fixes.

This version officially supports the following server software:

• Spigot "CraftBukkit", Spigot and Paper (recommended) for 1.8.8, 1.9.4, 1.10.2, 1.11.2, 1.12.2, 1.13.2 and 1.14.3
• Glowstone 2018.10 onwards (for Minecraft 1.12.2)

Upgrading from 2.16.1

You should be able to just replace the EssentialsX jars from 2.16.1 with new jars for 2.17.0 without any issues. However, there are some things to note:

• If you have players who use NetEase Minecraft (Minecraft China), you need to set safe-usermap-names: false! If you don't, your players may lose their homes and balance.
