• Open Inventories, Ender Chests, and offline player ender chests.
• Performs periodic backups of player inventories and chunks
• Allows for rollback/restore of chunks and inventories
• Has an interactive inspector (with pagination) for consulting history

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