If you have setup a permissions plugin such as PermissionsEX or LuckPerms and have configured a prefix, you will need a compatible chat plugin to ensure these show in-chat.
We advise to use EssentialsXChat for this, or EssentialsChat for older versions. This comes bundled with Essentials as standard, and you can find a download link below for this. Once installed, restart the server and your prefixes should show as normal!
Minecraft 1.8 onwards
Download EssentialsX: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/essentialsx.9089/
Minecraft 1.7 and older
Download Essentials: https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/essentials/files
Still not working?
Please ensure you have no conflicting prefix, or chat plugins installed - and that you have the correct version of Essentials & EssentialsChat installed.
If you are still facing issues and have a server with VillagerHost - please create a support ticket or contact our LiveChat, and we should be able to help!
