About this Mod
Essentials
Essentials expands automation and redstone in a balanced and vanilla style.
While there's full ingame documentation with Patchouli installed (strongly recommended), here's a few highlights:
- A single block chest that remembers item types for each slot
- Farmland that self-replants
- Simple and cheap item transport and sorting
- Single-block redstone circuits that can do logic or math
- And more...
Essentials has no worldgen, no balance destroying features, has ingame documentation, and is highly configurable. It can be dropped into a modpack without issues.

Essentials server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Essentials – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Essentials consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
