    About

    Forge Essentials is a server-side utility suite for running and administering Minecraft servers, with a detailed permissions and protection system at its core. Server owners can define permissions across zones, dimensions, groups, and individual players, controlling actions such as breaking, placing, interacting, and teleporting, and can schedule permission changes by game or real-world time. Its administration tools include configurable dimension backups, player action logging for investigating griefing, performance checks, remote management through an API, and commands for tasks such as flying or moving between locations. For players, the suite offers virtual currency for shops, trades, and command costs, alongside configurable kits, player-to-player teleporting, personal and global warps, majority sleep, and tickets for contacting staff. The Afterlife module can create a grave that stores a dead player's inventory and some experience, while allowing configurable respawn health, hunger, and potion effects. Other server-facing features cover chat colors and group prefixes, sign-based shops and scripted sign actions, world borders, and server voting with player rewards. MultiWorld lets administrators create and manage separate dimensions, including ones using modded dimension providers and generators. JavaScript scripting can alter blocks and players and automate actions, including actions associated with signs and vote rewards. The main mod is intended to run on the server only; WorldEdit is a separate download for its selection and zone integration, and an optional companion client mod adds conveniences such as selection displays.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.5.2 to 1.18.2.

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Uses folders outside the game
    It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Only in its files for Forge 1.16.5 to 1.18.2.
    Starts other programs
    It can start another program on your computer, for example to open a link in your browser. Only in its files for Forge 1.7.10, 1.16.5 to 1.18.2.
    Can download and run new code
    The same part of the code can download data and run it as code. Auto-updaters do this, and so does malware. Only in its files for Forge 1.7.10, 1.16.5 to 1.18.2.Not a Warning: we read its code and found no code downloaded over http or run without a check.
    Accepts connections from other computers
    It can accept connections from other computers. Only in its files for Forge 1.7.10 to 1.18.2; 1.8 to 1.10.2.
    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Only in its files for Forge 1.7.10 to 1.18.2; 1.8 to 1.10.2. See Privacy
    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. Only in its files for Forge 1.16.5 to 1.18.2.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · All 10 latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      10 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. None is for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about all of them. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.

    Sends your player name and your player ID

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.5.2 to 1.18.2.

    Sent to api.mojang.com and sessionserver.mojang.com.

    Only some of its files send your player name and your player ID.

    We found this in its code, read without running it.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
