EssentialsX also has a number of signs that you can use to allow your players to interact with, for example, buying/selling items or going to a warp by right-clicking a sign.

:::important All EssentialsX signs are disabled by default. If you want to use a sign, you will need to enable it in the config. To do this: 1. Open the config file in the EssentialsX plugin folder (usually /plugins/Essentials) 2. Scroll down untill you see a section that looks like this:

# Essentials Sign Control
# See http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/Sign_Tutorial for instructions on how to use these.
# To enable signs, remove # symbol. To disable all signs, comment/remove each sign.
# Essentials colored sign support will be enabled when any sign types are enabled.
# Color is not an actual sign, it's for enabling using color codes on signs, when the correct permissions are given.

enabledSigns:
  #- color
  #- balance
  #- buy
  #- sell
  #- trade.

  #- free
  #- disposal
  #- warp
  #- kit
  #- mail
  #- enchant
  #- gamemode
  #- heal
  #- info
  #- spawnmob
  #- repair
  #- time
  #- weather
  1. Remove the # symbol from each type of sign you want to use.

  2. Save the configuration file and reload Essentials (/essentials reload).

    :::

There are various right-clickable signs that you can use (and can be enabled in the section above.) For example, warp signs can take your player to a warp you defined with /setwarp and the mail sign can show the player's mail.
