About Essential Commands

From Modrinth

Configurable, permissions-backed utility commands for Fabric servers (tpa, home, warp, spawn, back, nick, rtp)

Essential Commands

Essential Commands is a Minecraft (Fabric) mod that adds several simple commands to the game.

All commands are [configurable][config-docs] and toggleable. \ The mod is purely serverside, and is not required on the client. (but it does work on singleplayer worlds).

[Release][modrinth:files] [Available For][modrinth:files]

Permissions

Essential Commands supports permissions mods like LuckPerms! All commands and sub-commands have their own permissions node in the form:

essentialcommands.<command>.<subcommand>

_Note: The config option use_permissions_api must be set to true for permissions to have an effect._ ([Permissions Quickstart][permissions-quickstart])

Commands

All of these commands support automatic tab completion using Minecraft's new commands system.
