Utils++
by M3GL
Utils++ is a server-side Forge utility that gives operators a set of commands for changing game modes, applying status effects and switching the language used for messages.
What it does
Utils++ is built around short commands that replace long chains of effect and gamemode arguments. Operators can switch game modes instantly, grant night vision or blindness, and use a command with a playful secret name, all without opening menus or waiting for delays. The mod is small, so it adds little load to a server, and it suits operators who want fewer command blocks to build and remember.
Messages are in English by default. Typing the language command without arguments shows the current language, and a Russian option can be selected in its place. The chosen language is saved per player, so each person keeps their own preference across sessions. The mod is published for Forge only, with a single release for the 1.20.2 game version and a build that also covers 1.20.1, both on the server side. It is licensed under the MIT License, and the code is not open source in a public repository sense that would let players edit it directly.
Installation is a single file placed in the mods folder of a Forge 1.20.1 or 1.20.2 server. Players do not need the mod on their own client, since it runs on the server alone.

How it compares
Fast commands is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that also provides command shortcuts, but it is licensed under All rights reserved and runs on both client and server. Easy Night Vision is a client-side only option for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, while Utils++ runs on the server alone and covers only the two Forge builds for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2.
