Such a horrible mod. I won't talk about the microtranactions because i feel Alro did a good job talking about it in there review, so i will talk about all the other things that make Essential bad.

Installer

The Essential.jar you download is not what ends up being ran by your modloader. Instead, Essential runs a installer and can install whatever it wants! This content persists after the Essential.jar is removed

Due to the installer essential has, it is possible (and encouraged) for other mods to just install essential with no warning.
