#Answer
No. PhoenixLobby has no required dependencies. It runs on a bare server, and every plugin it mentions is optional.
What each one is for, when you do install it:
| Plugin | What it adds |
|---|---|
| PlaceholderAPI | Every placeholder on this documentation |
| LuckPerms | The tablist groups, sorting and nametags |
| WorldGuard | Region checks used by the world protection and PvP worlds |
| Multiverse-Core | Managing the worlds, see Setup with Multiverse |
| Citizens, Model Engine, Better Model, Fancy NPCs | The matching NPC engines |
| Vault | Nothing today. It is loaded for economy support that is not used yet. |
| ViaVersion | Nothing today. |
Vault and ViaVersion appear in the plugin's soft dependency list, which is why the console mentions them at startup. That line is informational — no feature waits on either one, and there is nothing to fix if you never install them.
An NPC engine whose plugin is missing shows as Not installed in the editor and cannot be picked, so nothing breaks — that engine is simply unavailable until the plugin is there.
