Problem: EssentialsX overrides vanilla commands/Spigot's commands/other plugins' commands

Details: After installing EssentialsX, commands like /give and /help are overridden by EssentialsX alternatives.

Cause: EssentialsX provides enhanced alternatives to several default commands. For example, EssentialsX's /give supports a user-friendly item meta syntax that's less awkward to use than vanilla NBT, while EssentialsX's /help allows server owners to create custom help command pages and even customise them per-group.

Solution: See the commands list for documentation on how to use EssentialsX's commands.

If you're sure you want to override commands, you can use Bukkit's commands.yml. The example below does the following:

• Overrides /gc with spark's /profiler command
• Overrides /tell with the vanilla /tell command
• Forces /msg to run EssentialsX's /msg command

aliases:
    gc:
    - "spark:profiler $1-"
    tell:
    - "minecraft:tell $1-"
    msg:
    - "essentials:msg $1-"

You know that you can simply do /minecraft:cmd when you rarely need to use a vanilla command.
