Here is the install order that avoids conflicts.

Install in this order: Vault first, then the economy provider (EssentialsX) and the permissions provider (LuckPerms), and last the plugins that use those services. Without Vault, the EssentialsX economy cannot talk to shops. ## What Vault is[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/vault-minecraft-setup#o-que-e-vault) Vault is a plugin players never see. It adds no commands and no money: it works as a translator between plugins. When a shop wants to know someone's balance, it asks Vault, which passes the question on to the economy provider. The same goes for groups and permissions. ## Install order[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/vault-minecraft-setup#ordem-de-instalacao) 1. Install Vault in the plugins folder. 2. Install the economy provider, such as [EssentialsX](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/install-essentialsx-minecraft-server). 3. Install the permissions provider, such as [LuckPerms](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/luckperms-minecraft-setup). 4. Finally, install the shops and plugins that depend on those services. Fully restart the server after installing Vault. A simple reload may not register the integration with economy and permissions. ## Connect the economy[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/vault-minecraft-setup#economia) With Vault and EssentialsX active, the balance command already reflects player money in any compatible shop. To build the economy itself, with ways to earn and spend, see the [guide to economy with plugins](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/minecraft-server-economy-plugins). ## Connect the permissions[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/vault-minecraft-setup#permissoes) | Role | Typical plugin | | ----------- | ---------------------------- | | Bridge | Vault | | Economy | EssentialsX | | Permissions | LuckPerms | | Shop | Vault-compatible shop plugin | LuckPerms controls who can use each command. Through Vault, other plugins respect those groups without duplicate configuration, which keeps the server organized as it grows. ## Resolve conflicts[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/minecraft/vault-minecraft-setup#resolver-conflitos) Having two economy providers at the same time confuses Vault. Pick a single one to handle the money and disable the others to avoid wrong balances. * Only one economy provider active * Only one permissions provider active * Vault detecting both in the console * Shops installed last An economy and permissions stack uses more RAM and CPU as players and transactions increase. To sustain that with a stable TPS, take a look at [Minecraft Pro](https://streethosting.com.br/en/minecraft-pro).

Vault is a bridge layer. It does not create an economy or permissions, but it lets different plugins exchange that information, for example so an EssentialsX balance shows up in a shop. What is the correct install order? Install Vault first, then the economy provider such as EssentialsX and the permissions provider such as LuckPerms. Last come the plugins that consume those services, such as shops. Do I need Vault if I only use EssentialsX? Not for basic commands, but the EssentialsX money feature only integrates with shops and other plugins when Vault is present. If you plan to grow, install it from the start. Why does my economy show a zero balance everywhere? Usually there is no active economy provider, or Vault did not detect one. Check the console to see which plugin Vault recognized as the economy at boot. Next step See Minecraft Pro Managed hosting on Ryzen with modpacks, optimized Paper and technical support.
