ServerEssentials
Server owners who want familiar chat commands on a Fabric server can use ServerEssentials, a server-side utility that brings Bukkit-style commands to vanilla Minecraft.
What it does
ServerEssentials implements a set of widely known server commands: tpa, tpahere, tpaccept and tpdeny for teleport requests, home, sethome and delhome for personal bases, back for returning to a prior location, and afk, ping, fly, hat and sit. Warp is only partly implemented, and setwarp and delwarp manage its points. Permissions for the extra command essperm can be edited through a permission plugin, and the mod can make vanilla commands usable by players who are not operators, including oplevel.
Several behaviors are controlled by config flags. Players can sit on stairs when sitEnabled is true, victims can drop their skull when dropSkullOnDeath is true, and the game log output can be turned off through gameLogEnabled. The experimental-feature setting can be ignored. Because the work happens on the server, players join without installing anything.
The mod is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places it in the public domain. Files are published only for Fabric and target 1.18.2, with 1.0 for 1.18.2 as the latest build, dated 2022-10-01 and marked as beta. The source code and issue tracker are publicly available.

tpa, tpahere, tpaccept and tpdeny let players ask to meet and accept or refuse the request.

Player utilities
