Fabric Server Essentials
by Boombabob
Fabric Server Essentials gives server owners a command scheduler, restart controls and status commands for Fabric servers.
What it does
A schedule command runs chosen commands at set times of day, such as an overnight restart. Scheduled entries are stored in the config file and can be edited there. Setting the repeat option to false makes an entry run only once, while true runs it every day at that time. Removing an entry takes effect after the scheduler is reloaded following a server restart. The command works alongside commands from other mods.
Other commands cover server management. One sends a message to chosen recipients, or to everyone, showing the item the sender holds, which suits gear checks by operators. A restart option makes the server restart whenever it stops, so a stop does not leave it down by accident. A broadcast command sends a message to every online player, useful for warnings before a restart. A ping command lets players see their latency, and a server information command shows details that can be changed in the config. Players can also send their coordinates to everyone, or a specific player can be named as the recipient.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It requires Fabric API and works with permission mods of the kind that manage operator access. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files exist for 1.20.1, 1.20.2 and 1.21.4, with 1.2.2 for 1.21.4 as the latest file. Its required dependency is YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL).
Key features
Scheduled commands

Config-based schedules
Each scheduled entry is saved in the config file, where it can be edited and set to run once or daily.
Restart on stop
An optional setting restarts the server whenever it stops, guarding against unintended shutdowns.
Broadcast and coordinates
