[WBCA]WillowBranchCarpetAddition
[WBCA]WillowBranchCarpetAddition is a Carpet extension for Fabric servers that adds startup safety tools, HUD loggers and small quality-of-life changes for administrators of vanilla technical servers.
What it does
Carpet supplies the rule system this mod builds on, and Fabric API is needed as well, so both must be installed on the server. Because the mod is server-side only, players join without installing anything on their own side, and the extension changes nothing in the client.
The mod focuses on administration and startup safety. While the server starts it freezes the world, so machines and redstone do not run before the administrator has finished preparing the server. It also adds a HUD logger that counts real online players and leaves out fake players, and it can change the permission level needed for several useful vanilla commands.
Spectator players can open and use storage blocks and crafting stations without switching game mode. The author describes the design goal as practical tools that keep gameplay close to vanilla. Builds are published for 1.21.11 and for 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, and the latest file is 0.1.0 for 26.2, released 2026-07-29 under the MIT License, with source code available.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server administrators running Fabric servers with Carpet who want startup safety tools and small administration changes, rather than a large gameplay overhaul.
How it compares
Carpet FZ Addition is also a server-side extension, but it is published only for 1.21.11 and is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Chat Logger! is client-side only and is open source under the MIT License for 1.21.11 – 26.3, so it runs on a player's client rather than the server.
