NeoEssentials
NeoEssentials gives NeoForge server owners economy, chat, homes, kits, moderation and permission tools from one set of JSON config files, inspired by EssentialsX.
What it does
Players hold balances and can pay each other, claim kits with cooldowns, and use a shop. Chat features include private messages, mail, an ignore list, socialspy and an AFK system. Homes, warps, a spawn point and teleport requests cover travel, and a back command returns players to their previous position.
Administrators get ban, kick, mute, jail, vanish, freeze and sudo commands, along with player data tools. Item commands handle spawning, repair, enchanting, clearing the inventory and powertools. Over 50 commands cover the main server functions, with GUI screens, color code support and a web dashboard for live monitoring and config editing through REST endpoints.
The mod runs only on the server, so players join with vanilla clients and install nothing. Permissions can be handled by LuckPerms or FTB Ranks, which are supported out of the box. Files are published for NeoForge only, and the latest build, 1.0.6, targets 26.2 and was released on 2026-10-13. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the mod is listed in the Economy category.
