config/essentials.yaml.
Singleplayer

- Place the mod JAR into your client
mods/folder. - Launch the game. The behavior applies in singleplayer because it runs an integrated server. The mod will automatically generate a default configuration file at

Configuration
Essentials uses a YAML configuration file located at .minecraft/config/essentials.yaml (or in your server's config directory). If no configuration file exists, default settings will be used.

Essentials Fabric server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.10). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Essentials Fabric officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.10, 1.21.8. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Essentials Fabric – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Essentials Fabric consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
