🛠️ Essential Commands

A lightweight, multiplatform (Fabric + NeoForge) essentials mod for Minecraft. Created as a dependency-free alternative to EssentialsX / FTBEssentials.

I built this because I couldn't find a lightweight alternative. This mod intends to add just the essential commands without extra fluff.

Supports LuckPerms for fine-grained permission control. Falls back to vanilla OP levels when LuckPerms is not installed.

Configuration

Generated at config/essential.commands.toml on first launch. Reload at runtime with /essentials reload.

Warmup & Cooldowns

Teleport commands support configurable warmup timers and cooldowns. Set either to 0 to disable.

During warmup:

• A countdown message is displayed
• Moving to a different block cancels the teleport
• Taking damage cancels the teleport

Cooldowns begin only after a successful teleport.

Persistence

All player data is saved to <world>/data/rift_essentials.dat (standard Minecraft NBT SavedData). Saves automatically with the world. Includes:

• Homes and server warps
• Previous locations (/back)
• Nicknames
• Last-seen timestamps and username index (for offline /seen lookups)
