Pricing and distribution
The project exposes source code, but its commercial/license terms still matter. Source availability does not automatically grant unrestricted free use or redistribution.
What to check before using it
- Public source code does not automatically mean the commercial distribution/license terms are free. Check the official license and download page before use.
Also check the plugin's current dependency list, migration notes and supported server versions on the official page before changing a production server.
Practical deployment check: ecoCrates participates in the Auxilor eco ecosystem; verify its current core/dependency requirements and whether reward definitions reference currencies, items or effects provided by other eco plugins.
Common questions
What does EcoCrates do?
Crate system in the Auxilor eco ecosystem with configurable rewards and effects.
Is EcoCrates a plugin or a mod?
EcoCrates is listed here because it is used as a server plugin in its supported plugin environment. Some projects also publish builds for other platforms; use the official download page to choose the correct platform build.
Do players need to install it?
Most server plugins run server-side and do not require players to install the same JAR. Features that rely on resource packs, Bedrock bridges or optional client integrations can still change what the player must download or accept.
How do I install it?
Install a compatible ecoCrates build and its officially documented dependencies. Configure one low-stakes crate and reward through the matching version’s configuration format.
How do I know the plugin loaded?
Open one test crate and verify key consumption, reward delivery and any configured economy costs with a non-OP test player.
What if it does not load?
If effects or rewards are missing, check plugin dependency startup order, reward identifiers and any external item/command providers before modifying live crate data.
