MKT Essentials

A comprehensive, all-in-one server-side utility mod for NeoForge 1.21.1. Everything you need to run a Minecraft server — teleportation, rich chat, cosmetics, moderation, authentication, a Discord bridge, inventory backups and more — in one lightweight package. Players join with a vanilla client and need nothing installed.

✨ Why MKT Essentials?

All-in-one — replaces a stack of separate mods with one.
Server-side only — works with vanilla clients.
Self-sufficient — tab list, nametags, MOTD and placeholders are all native; no companion mod required.
Fully configurable — clean YAML, per-command toggles, English & Polish language files.
Permission-based — a node for every command; works great with LuckPerms.

💬 Rich Chat

Markdown formatting — *italic*, **bold**, __underline__, ~~strikethrough~~, ??matrix?? — in chat and on anvil/book/sign text
Interactive chat — clickable URLs, :emoji: shortcodes, and ||spoilers|| that reveal on hover
Inline objects — [item] shows the item you're holding (with tooltip), <head> shows your player head
Mentions — @player highlights and pings them; opt out with /mentions
Personal chat colour — /chatcolor
Chat settings GUI — /chatsetting, plus an ignore-list menu
Local / per-world chat — nearby-only or per-world messaging with a global prefix
Roleplay, anonymous & stream — /me, /do, /anon, /stream, plus /symbol glyphs

🎨 Cosmetics & Display

Nicknames — /nick shows in chat, tab list, and above the player's head (skin preserved)
Native tab list — custom header/footer, animations, optional ping column
Above-head nametags — rank prefix/suffix via scoreboard teams
Below-name values, sidebar scoreboard & boss bar — placeholders + animations
Server brand — customise the F3 debug-screen server name
Welcome greeting — personalised join message that can render the player's skin face as pixel art
MOTD & favicon — set the server-list description and icon, with a separate maintenance MOTD

🔗 Discord Integration

Built-in JDA bot — no external plugins needed:

Account linking — generate a 6-digit code in-game, verify with a Discord slash command; optional linked role
2-way chat relay — in-game chat and join/leave mirror to a Discord channel (with webhook avatars showing each player's name and skin); channel messages appear in-game
Live status — bot shows the current online player count
Safe by default — blocks @everyone pings from the game, sanitises colour codes both ways

Discord features require the KotlinForForge mod.

🔨 Moderation

Ban / Tempban / Unban — duration parsing (1d12h, 30m) and a ban screen with reason + time
IP bans — /banip, /unbanip (works on offline players via last known IP)
Mute / Tempmute / Unmute — timed or permanent, offline supported
Warnings — /warn with automatic tempban escalation at a configurable limit
History — /history full punishment record
Shadowban — 4 methods including phantom full isolation: the player joins an empty world, sees no one, is seen by no one, gets no chat, and is silently muted in voice chat

🔐 Authentication

5 modes — full, auth-only, link-only, optional, disabled
Register & Login — bcrypt-hashed passwords
Freeze system — unauthenticated players can't move, interact, or chat
Newbie protection — invulnerability window for first-time players
Session management — auto-login from the same IP within a timeout
Optional web sync — two-way sync with an external website/backend

Mod What it adds LuckPerms Permissions, prefix/suffix, per-group chat Text Placeholder API %mktessentials:*% placeholders in chat/tab TAB MKT's native tab/nametags step aside so TAB manages them MiniMOTD MKT's MOTD steps aside SkinsRestorer Greeting face uses the player's SkinsRestorer skin Plasmo Voice / Simple Voice Chat In-game mutes also mute voice chat Curios API Curios slots in /invsee and backups

The mod works perfectly without any of them.
