About forge-essentials

From Modrinth

Forge Essentials aims to provide a suite of powerful fully server-side utilities to make running, administrating and using a server better and easier. This mod only needs to be installed on the server and should not be installed at all on the client.

1.16.5 Port is mostly complete and beta builds are now available to download from Modrinth

Forge Essentials aims to provide a suite of powerful fully server-side utilities to make running, administrating and using a server better and easier. This mod only needs to be installed on the server and should not be installed at all on the client. The companion mod is a client mod, which may be optionally downloaded to enable additional features like WorldEdit CUI.

  • WorldEdit is not included in FE and must be downloaded separately
