# Setup Knowledge

### Essential Plugins?

We do not include **EssentialsX** or **CMI** in the setup because they are not particularly useful for our lobby setup. You are free to use any essential plugin of your choice.

{% hint style="success" %}
[**SunLight** ](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/sunlight-%E2%AD%90-best-z-essentials-cmi-alternative.67733/) is highly recommended - a modern plugin come with great customization options for all the features and modules.

### Gem Economy

The Gem in the Hyronic Lobby is handled by the **PlayerPoints** plugin. Currently, it doesn't serve any purpose other than creating a leaderboard for players.\
\
However, you can connect the Gem to sub-servers to create a cross-server perk system that uses the same type of Gem. Players can then use this Gem to purchase perks such as cosmetics.

We will also update a trails shop for the Hyronic Lobby as soon as possible so players can purchase "trails" in next updates.

### Welcome Screen

> A UI will appear every time a player joins the Lobby, where you can place announcements and news. The content can be changed using the PSD file we have provided.

This feature works by combining two plugins. When a player joins the server, the **DeluxeHub** plugin will open a menu created by **FancyDialog**
