Summary
Essential is a private administration system that allows administrators and super administrators to have easy and complex control over the game. Currently Essential features about 30+ commands and several components from basic utilities to highly sensitive stuff for developers.
My Inspiration
Before I created Essential, my first words were “What admin system is there that has roles with specific permissions you can assign and commands with proper cooldown?” Around April of 2021, I began gathering ideas from SimpleAdmin, a simple admin suite created by @crywink, and Adonis, a complex admin but yet feature-packed made by @Davey_Bones and his Adonis contributors, including me, on what makes an admin system good. One idea from SimpleAdmin was creating roles with permissions. Another idea, which came from a different admin system, Commander, created by @7kayoh was the simplicity of user interface. Third idea from Adonis was the ban people itself was the ability to game ban people (unfortunately was not quite good at the time of 2021). Of course, there are more ideas I might’ve taken elsewhere but these ideas are the main points of how Essential was created. Then, I asked myself, “If I could combine simple and complex, what admin system would that be?” At that point, after a month of doing research and gathering ideas from different admin systems, I created Essential.

Side note: This preview was shown during the working development of the new List UI in Essential. Sorry about the text wrapping issue. Also a couple commands like :aeprotectlogs are from plugins I made in Essential.

Roadmap
If you would like to see a live demonstration of Essential, you can visit my friend @DandanPH 's Rocket Cart.
Update 3-30-2024
Do not visit DandanPH’s Rocket Cart for a live preview of Essential. DandanPH removed my editing permissions for his game a month ago and I could no longer update Essential in game. I will make a game for the live demonstration of Essential sometime next week with administration perms
Conclusion
Currently Essential Admin is still WIP (Work In Progress) and closed source. There are some bugs that may occur rarely in the system. I have been asked a few times by some of my friends about making this open source. Essential needs to add several more features before opening it to the public.
Update 18/11/2024
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.
