RpEssentials
by Finerus
RpEssentials, a NeoForge server utility from Finerus, covers identity, professions, licenses, moderation, chat formatting and scheduling for roleplay servers.
What it does
Roleplay mode is the core of the mod. Server owners can give players a configurable nickname, obscure their identity, assign professions and licenses, and track when each player last connected. A jobs schedule and opening and closing chat formatting help a server keep to its in-world calendar, and death roleplay is covered as well.
Moderation tools sit alongside these features. Zones and a world border can be changed in real time without restarts, and the config can be reloaded with a command after edits. The mod is installed by placing the jar in the server's mods folder; players need nothing on their side.
Immersive Messages API and TxniLib are needed only by the client, and only when the IMMERSIVE display mode is set somewhere in the config, so a server runs fine without them. Curios API, LuckPerms and RpImmersion are optional. RpImmersion requires RpEssentials. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source; the source code and a wiki are published.
Key features
Roleplay mode
A dedicated mode gives server owners the tools to run a roleplay world, with identity and profession systems built in.
Nicknames and identity
Players can receive configurable nicknames, and identity can be obscured for roleplay scenes.
Schedules and chat formatting
A jobs schedule and opening and closing chat formatting let the server follow its in-world hours.
Real-time zones and borders
Zones and the world border can be adjusted live, without restarting the server.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who run immersive roleplay worlds on NeoForge 1.21.1 and want identity, scheduling, moderation and chat tools from one server-side mod.
How it compares
LuckPerms Chat is NeoForge, server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.6, so it covers chat permissions rather than roleplay systems. PlayerName Styler is also NeoForge and server-side only under the MIT License, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.11, and focuses on name styling. Autonickname is a Fabric mod for 1.21.5 under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so it cannot be used on a NeoForge server.
