Hello, I would like to explain to you a better alternative to Essentials:
Skript:
First of all, download Skript, at the plugins page, then restart your server. once you do that, go to your Minehut Dashboard, then go to File Manager > Plugins > Skript > Scripts, and then add a file, named rules.sk. once done, go into the file, and type this:
command /rules:
trigger:
send "'&8&--------&8&l[&c&l RULES&8&l ]&8&m--------" to player
send " " to player
send "&7[&c1&8]&7 Hacking is &c&lPROHIBITED!" to player
send "&7[&c1&8]&7 Spamming is &c&lPROHIBITED!" to player
send "&7[&c1&8]&7 DDoS / Doxxing threats are &c&lPROHIBITED!" to player
send "&7[&c1&8]&7 Racial Slurs are &c&lPROHIBITED!" to player
send "&7[&c1&8]&7 False Hackusation is &c&lPROHIBITED!" to player
(change & add rules as you wish)
now that you have done this, click save, and wait for the success message to pop up. Now just simply go ingame, and execute the command "/sk reload rules", and change rules to whatever you named the file. (the name is Cap Sensitive!).
If this doesn't work, please tell me, and I will try and fix your problem!
have a good day
