Curtain
by DubheStudios
Curtain gives server owners a set of commands for watching and controlling the technical side of a Forge or NeoForge game server, in the manner of the Carpet family of mods.
What it does
The /log command shows server metrics such as the mobcap and ticks per second, and updates them live in the chat window. Owners can follow several values at once and stop a log at any time, which makes it possible to check how a server behaves under load without restarting it.
The /player command controls and spawns fake players, letting a server owner place a player-like entity into the world for testing redstone, farms or other mechanics. The /curtain command opens the main menu, from which the other settings can be reached without typing each one by hand.
Curtain runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.16 – 1.21.1 and the latest Forge build dated 2023-08-14. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only.

Use cases
Testing farms and mob spawning
A server owner can watch the mobcap while building a farm and adjust the design before players rely on it.
Diagnosing server lag
Ticks per second and related values shown by /log help locate where a server slows down.
Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who run Forge or NeoForge servers and want technical controls and live readouts. Players who only join a server need nothing installed.
