FAQ
- “Currency not found”: Install Vault + economy (or PlayerPoints); plugin retries after ~5s. If PlayerPoints is set but missing, it falls back to Vault.
- Missed packet after disconnect: Enable “resend on join” in config and reload; rejoining players get current active packets.
- Restrict who can send/claim: Use send list and claim list in config (whitelist or blacklist with names/UUIDs).
