Fabric Server Essentials

by Boombabob

Fabric Server Essentials gives server owners a command scheduler, restart controls and status commands for Fabric servers.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.4

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

  1. Scheduled commands

    Commands run at a chosen time of day, which suits recurring jobs like an overnight restart.

  2. Config-based schedules

    Each scheduled entry is saved in the config file, where it can be edited and set to run once or daily.

  3. Restart on stop

    An optional setting restarts the server whenever it stops, guarding against unintended shutdowns.

  4. Broadcast and coordinates

    Operators can broadcast messages to all online players and let players share their coordinates with everyone.

How it compares

Full comparison

Command Scheduler is a Fabric server mod for 1.20 – 1.21.7 under a Creative Commons non-commercial license with no derivatives, so it is not open source. Simple Server Restart is open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 and does not cover 1.20.1 or 1.21.4. Classic Restart uses the MIT License without being open source and covers 1.21.4 – 1.21.10.

Questions

Does Fabric Server Essentials need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is required next to the mod, and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) is also required.

Does a player need to install the mod?

No. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything.

Can a scheduled command run only once?

Yes. Setting the repeat option to false in the config makes the entry run a single time.
