Installation

Requirements

Before installing EnhancedEchest, make sure your server meets these requirements:

Requirement	Specification
Minecraft Version	26.1.x only
Server Software	Paper, Folia, Purpur or compatible Paper forks
Java Version	Java 25

Paper 26.1.x is required

EnhancedEchest relies on Paper-only APIs (the plugin bootstrap, Brigadier commands, and the Dialog API) and is built against the 26.1.x API. It requires Paper or a Paper-compatible fork (Folia, Purpur); it will not run on CraftBukkit, nor on other Minecraft versions.

Java 25 is required

The plugin is compiled for Java 25. Make sure your server runs on a Java 25 (or newer) runtime, otherwise it will fail to load.

Download

Choose your preferred download source:

Modrinth Spigot Hangar

Installation Steps

1. Install the Plugin

1. Stop your server completely
2. Download the latest .jar file from a source above
3. Place it in your server's plugins/ folder
4. Start your server (avoid using /reload, it can cause issues)

No extra dependencies

All database drivers, the connection pool, and the scheduler are bundled inside the jar. You do not need to install anything else on your server.

2. Verify Installation

Run the following in your server console or in-game to confirm the plugin loaded:

/plugins

EnhancedEchest should appear in the list with a green status. By default it runs on SQLite, so it works out of the box with no further setup.

3. Generated Files

The plugin automatically creates its files in plugins/EnhancedEchest/:

File	Description
config.yml	Main configuration: chest size, database, migration
enderchests.db	SQLite database (default storage backend)
language/<locale>/messages.yml	Player-facing messages and the plugin prefix
language/<locale>/gui.yml	Inventory titles and chest-menu labels

Updating

1. Download the new version
2. Stop your server
3. Replace the old .jar file with the new one
4. Start your server

Your database and configuration are preserved across updates.
