Why ScriptedEssentials?

• Ingame Menus, not config files. permissions and features are toggled in game.
• Made for content. Lockdown the server whilst you film, mute chat, freeze players to ensure they are listening
• No external permissions plugin needed. Switch any feature off or limit it to ops from /seperm
• Converts over your stuff from other plugins. Kits and warps from EssentialsX, PlayerKits2 and Observer are imported the first time it starts.
