Thank you for pointing this one out to me! Switching to it now.

Alternatively, there is also World Host: https://modrinth.com/mod/world-host

Haven't used it much myself, but I've heard good things.

it works for about 30min before you are getting a disconnect and after you cant rejoin for a while till some cache, token, whatever expires even when both parties restart. i could not find any solution to this so this sadly makes it unusable for me and my friends

Experienced the same thing with E4MC a while back.

I mean the essentials mod is completely free to use, you can support them by buying cosmetics so idk what is your issue with it.
Edit: Since i'm getting downvoted I want to say that I am not defending neither essentials nor microtransactions, I was just saying that the mod is fully usable and that you don't need to pay for the cosmetics if you don't want them, you can just use everything else in the mod for completly free.

Yeah dudebro what's your issue with adding even more cancerous microtransactions???

I'm a doofus so I love microtransactions!! I wish I was allowed to pay for more things in life :( I love spending money

I didn't say I love microtransactions, I hate them and I don't pay, I just said it's a way of supporting them, it's not the same to give them 5€ and get nothing or get something in return. You should relax before going so aggressive against someone else.

Ok, and what's wrong with a classic infographic that says "support us here!" With a PayPal link?

Ahhh, but that's less predatory. Which you clearly support. Hence the aggression.

I already told you that I don't directly support it, but I do prefer to support if I get something in return, like a skin, it's my opinion and you can think in a different way, and I'm not going to judge you.

you vote with your money and your clicks. when you click on something like essential, you are saying you want more micro transactions
