Common Issues

Disabling the cosmetic chest (overwriting inventory slots)

By default, the cosmetic chest will appear in your inventory. Follow these steps to disable it:

  1. Head to the config.yml and set the values "give-on.join", "give-on.world-change", "give-on.death" to false.
  2. Restart the server for these changes to take effect.
  3. If you wish, you can also use the command /cosmetics to open the main menu as an alternative to the chest. You may also want to take a look at /pc menu if you wish to open a menu for a player from the console.

Treasure chests not opening when clicked

This is most likely caused by spawn protection. Make sure that:
a) You have either set spawn-protection to 0 in your server.properties or made sure it is not interfering.
b) If you have WorldGuard, chest interaction/opening is allowed in the region. You may need to make another region.
c) If you have any other protection plugin, it is set to allow chests to be interacted with. You may need to remove them to detect the cause.


Pets and mounts aren't spawning

In nearly all cases, this is caused by mobs being disabled. Check to make sure that:

  • spawn-animals and spawn-monsters are set to true in the server.properties file.
  • Make sure your difficulty is not set to peaceful (or 0 if looking in the server.properties file).
  • There can be other plugins blocking it such as WorldGuard. If you wish to only enable ProCosmetics entities I suggest allowing mob spawning in WorldGuard but denying mob spawning with /gamerule doMobSpawning false.

Users don't receive cosmetics when they purchase them.

This is related to a permissions issue. Take a read of these steps:

  • Take a read of this on how to get your permissions plugin set up.
  • If you have already done this, make sure it is correct and that the player is receiving the permissions correctly.

Why am I unable to see particle effects and trails?

This is due to your Minecraft settings not having particles enabled. See this and make sure you have particles set to all in your game settings.
