# Integrations

RareItemHunter Remaster works without optional plugins, but several integrations expand it significantly.

## EssentialsX

Purpose:

* enables `money` as a property cost type
* can disable god-mode style protection during boss fights when configured

## WorldGuard and WorldEdit

Purpose:

* restrict random egg spawning to specific regions
* enable property restrictions from `region_rules.yml`
* optionally control where bosses may damage terrain

## PlaceholderAPI

Purpose:

* exposes boss, player, server, and clan placeholders
* supports scoreboards, holograms, menus, and other display plugins

## CombatLogX

Purpose:

* tags players in combat when fighting bosses
* blocks selected properties while a player is tagged
* can announce punishments for logging out near active bosses

## Clan and Faction Providers

Supported providers configured through `groups.provider`:

* `auto`
* `cubeclans`
* `simpleclans`
* `improvedfactions`
* `factionsuuid`
* `saberfactions`
* `none`

When one is active, the plugin can expose clan-based placeholders and use clan context in messages.

## Stats Backends

Supported storage:

* YAML
* MySQL

YAML is simpler for small servers. MySQL is better when you want durable, queryable data or external stat workflows.

## External Item Systems

The codebase also supports an external item bridge and dynamic craft sync hooks.

This is relevant when you want RIH items to:

* resolve into custom item representations
* report a logical item id to the plugin
* report a logical base type such as `SKILL`, `SPELL`, or `ABILITY`

This is more of a developer-facing extension point than an end-user dependency, and it is documented further in [Developer Hooks](broken://pages/7d93e780a38336c4c12485385d81ec2828fdf9fa).
