Forge Essentials aims to provide a suite of powerful fully server-side utilities to make running, administrating and using a server better and easier. This mod only needs to be installed on the server and should not be installed at all on the client. The companion mod is a client mod, which may be optionally downloaded to enable additional features like WorldEdit CUI.
