Which Plugins Work With ItemsAdder, Oraxen and Nexo

Eight records name a custom-item plugin, and no two mean the same thing

The question is short — does this work with ItemsAdder? — and the honest answer is a list rather than a yes. Eight of the plugins sold here name at least one of ItemsAdder, Oraxen, Nexo or MMOItems for themselves, and the four names do not travel together. Advanced Crates and InfiniteCrates take items from all four. SpecializedCrates, InfiniteShops and GUIPlus take items from three of the four, and it is not the same three each time. And three of the eight describe the integration in the other direction: InfiniteCrops and InfiniteFishing name these plugins as hosts for their own textures, and LPC Pro as the source of emoji and glyphs in chat. None of those three records says anything either way about taking your items, which is not the same as refusing them — it is a different job wearing the same name.

That distinction is the reason this page exists. "Works with ItemsAdder" on a crate plugin means an ItemsAdder item can be a reward. On a farming plugin it means the opposite direction of travel: the plugin publishes its textures through ItemsAdder instead of through its own resource pack. Both are true statements, and a server owner who reads one as the other ends up with an integration that does nothing they wanted.

"Not stated" is doing real work in the table below. It means that record does not name that item plugin — not that the combination is known to fail, and not that anything was tested and found wanting. Where a cell says not stated and you need certainty, that is a question for the plugin author rather than for a page like this one. Every other cell is copied from the integrations section or the frequently asked questions on that plugin's own product page.

Every plugin, and what it does with your custom items

Read the last column first. Whether a plugin accepts ItemsAdder items is the easy half of the question; what it does with them is the half that decides whether this is the integration you actually need.

Nothing in this table is a dependency you have to install first. Where a record addresses it, these plugins are listed as optional integrations that are used when present — which plugins need Vault, ProtocolLib or PlaceholderAPI covers what each plugin does require before it will start.

Crate rewards: three plugins, two different lists

Advanced Crates and InfiniteCrates state the same thing word for word: no dependencies are required, and when present, ItemsAdder, Oraxen, Nexo and MMOItems items work as rewards, HeadDatabase and Citizens are supported, and PlaceholderAPI is hooked. If your reward pool is built out of custom items, either one takes all four sources, and the choice between them turns on something else entirely — Advanced Crates covers 1.8-26.2 with 17 packet-based animations and no resource pack, while InfiniteCrates covers 1.20.6-26.2 and is built around its included texture pack, 26 crate models and 25 GUI animations.

SpecializedCrates is the exception, and it is the difference on this page worth knowing before you pick. Its record names ItemsAdder, Oraxen, AdvancedEnchantments, MMOItems and Head Database items as rewards when those plugins are installed. Nexo is not in that list, and nothing else in the record mentions it. If Nexo is where your items live, that is the difference that should decide the pick, and no amount of similarity elsewhere changes it. In the other direction, SpecializedCrates names one integration the other two crate records do not — AdvancedEnchantments — and pairs it with 25 animations, a config-driven animation builder, and lucky chests players find while mining.

All three name a head plugin, spelled as each record spells it: HeadDatabase on Advanced Crates and InfiniteCrates, Head Database on SpecializedCrates. If the custom-item column is not what decides this for you, choosing a Minecraft crates plugin works through the rest of the comparison, and the crates hub lines the three up with their version ranges.

Shops and menus: stock, price tags and buttons

InfiniteShops is the one record that gives a custom item three separate jobs: items from ItemsAdder, Nexo and Oraxen work as shop products, display items and currency items, with no extra setup. The third of those is the one worth pausing on. A currency item is not what the player buys, it is what the player pays with — so a server whose economy runs on a custom token can price things in that token rather than in coins. Its plugin integrations page goes further than the record, with the config for each. The same integrations section lists AdvancedEnchantments, EcoEnchants and WildTools under custom items and enchants. MMOItems is not named anywhere in the InfiniteShops record. The plugin itself requires Vault and ProtocolLib and runs 1.13-26.2; setting up server shops with InfiniteShops covers the build from there.

GUIPlus approaches it from the NBT side: NBT support means custom items from ItemsAdder, Oraxen, Nexo, AdvancedEnchantments and others work in menus, and the product page answers the three-name question directly. The on-site plugin integrations page is more specific than the record is. It shows giving a custom item through a console command in a click event, setting item-custom-model-data for a resource-pack texture — or item-model on Minecraft 1.21.2 and newer — and dropping ItemsAdder font images into item lore, or Oraxen glyph placeholders into item names and lore, each through that plugin's own PlaceholderAPI expansion. GUIPlus runs 1.16-26.2, and migrating DeluxeMenus menus to GUIPlus has the checking-every-item pass that a menu migration needs.

• As a reward — Advanced Crates, InfiniteCrates and SpecializedCrates put custom items in the crate reward pool.
• As stock and as the display item — InfiniteShops sells them and shows them in the shop menu with no extra setup.
• As the currency — InfiniteShops also accepts a custom item as the thing the player pays with.
• As a menu item — GUIPlus renders them inside menus through NBT support, and hands them out through click events.
• As a texture or an emoji — InfiniteCrops, InfiniteFishing and LPC Pro use these plugins to host their own textures or to render chat emoji instead.

Texture host, not item source: InfiniteCrops and InfiniteFishing

InfiniteCrops is the clearest case of the distinction this page turns on. Over 280 custom textures ship with the plugin — crops, seeds, tools, sprinklers, panels, fertilizers, cans, tanks, pots and more — and the built-in resource pack delivers automatically on join with no extra config. ItemsAdder, Oraxen and Nexo are the alternative to that pack, not a source of items for it: the record describes them as auto-detected, with IDs rewritten to route through your chosen host. Nothing is being imported from them. What the integration buys a server already running one of the three is a single pack on the client instead of two.

The record is explicit that the built-in system works standalone and the texture plugins are optional, and the only thing InfiniteCrops does require is InfiniteCropsRegions, which is bundled with the download. It runs 1.17-26.2, and custom crops on a Minecraft server covers the farming side.

InfiniteFishing names just one of the four, and it is the only row in the table that does. Its record names ItemsAdder in one integration bullet — custom item textures for fish, rods and baits — and repeats it in the optional-integration list and the FAQ, alongside Vault, PlaceholderAPI, WorldGuard, ProtocolLib, Geyser-Spigot, mcMMO, AuraSkills and Parties, all of which the record calls optional. Oraxen, Nexo and MMOItems are not named anywhere in it. The custom fish ship with their textures included, so ItemsAdder here is a hosting choice in the same shape as InfiniteCrops, with one host named instead of three. It runs 1.17-26.2; the fishing plugin setup guide covers the rest, and the gameplay hub has both plugins side by side.

Chat: emoji, glyphs, and only one hook at a time

LPC Pro uses ItemsAdder and Oraxen for something nothing else here does — rendering them inside chat messages. The record lists both under integrations, for custom emojis, font images and the in-chat item showcase, and the on-site documentation splits them by syntax. The ItemsAdder page documents :emoji_name:, replaced with the font image or custom stack defined in ItemsAdder font_images, plus an /emoji command behind the lpcpro.emoji permission. The Oraxen page documents :glyph_name:, replaced with the glyph defined in Oraxen.

Both pages carry the same warning, and it is worth reading before you install the pair: if ItemsAdder and Oraxen are both installed, both will process the :emoji: syntax, and the documentation recommends enabling only one of the two integrations to avoid conflicts. Each is a hook you switch on in config.yml — items-adder and oraxen under hooks: — and the requirements page lists both as optional dependencies rather than as something LPC Pro needs to start. Nexo is not named in the LPC Pro record or anywhere in its documentation.

The free LPC is the other half of that picture: its record names no custom-item plugin at all, so emoji and glyph rendering is something the Pro record states and the free one does not. LPC covers 1.7.10-26.2 and LPC Pro covers 1.17-26.2. LuckPerms chat formatting with LPC covers the formatting both share, and the chat hub puts the two records next to each other.

What these records do not say

The gaps are worth as much as the table, because a page like this one is usually where a gap quietly turns into a claim. These are the things nothing in the catalogue states, listed so you know to check them elsewhere rather than assume them here.

• Which versions of the item plugins — No record states which ItemsAdder, Oraxen or Nexo version it was built or tested against — only that the integration exists.
• Nexo, in three records — SpecializedCrates, InfiniteFishing and LPC Pro do not name Nexo anywhere. Read that as unstated, not as a tested incompatibility.
• MMOItems, outside the crate plugins — Only Advanced Crates, InfiniteCrates and SpecializedCrates name MMOItems; the shop, menu, farming, fishing and chat records do not.
• Two hosts installed at once — Only the LPC Pro documentation addresses running ItemsAdder and Oraxen together, and only for the :emoji: syntax. No other record here describes the combination.
• Setup detail beyond the hook — Of the eight, GUIPlus, InfiniteShops and LPC Pro have on-site documentation covering these integrations; for the rest, the product page is the whole of what we state.
