FTB Essentials homes and warps on Minecraft

FTB Essentials adds the everyday server commands to a modded Minecraft server: /sethome and /home, warps that an operator sets for everyone, /tpa teleport requests, /back and /rtp. It runs on mod loaders only. On a Paper or Purpur server use EssentialsX instead, covered in Set up EssentialsX on your Minecraft server.

Checked against FTB Essentials 26.1.2.5 on NeoForge 26.1.2, October 2026. The project lists the same build for Fabric, which we did not run.

Which build fits your server

FTB Essentials is published on CurseForge. Its release builds cover these loaders and Minecraft versions:

On 26.1 builds the mod needs FTB Library, and on Fabric also Fabric API. On the 1.21.1, 1.20.4 and 1.20.1 builds, FTB Library in turn needs Architectury API on every loader, and the Fabric builds list it too.

Install it

1. Check the loader and version in the JAR Manager tab, under More in the panel menu. Change Minecraft server version or loader covers switching.
2. Open Mods, under Content. Pick the CurseForge button above the results.
3. Search FTB Essentials. The Game version and Loader filters start on your server's values.
4. Click Install. If a prompt says the mod needs more add-ons, click Install all. If FTB Library is not in the list, search FTB Library and install it too.
5. Open Console and click Restart, or Start if the server is stopped.

If Install says there is no build for your Minecraft version, FTB has not published one. Do not force an Any version build onto a mismatched server. On a new server, pick a listed version in the JAR Manager first. On a server with a world you care about, do not go back to an older Minecraft, because loading a world in an older version can cause corruption, data loss or a crash.

Homes, warps and teleports

Players can run all of these except the two warp commands that change warps, which are for operators. Make someone an operator from the Players tab, using Operators and Make operator.

A /tpa request reaches the other player as a chat line with Accept and Deny buttons to click.

Change the limits

Stop the server, then open config/ftbessentials.json5 in the File Manager. The file appears after the first start on 26.1.2 builds (we saw it on NeoForge). Older builds keep the home, back and rtp settings in config/ftbessentials.snbt. Inside the teleportation section, each command has its own block with these defaults:

• home allows one home (max), with a cooldown of 10 seconds. Cooldowns and warmup times are in seconds.
• back keeps up to 10 locations (max) and has a cooldown of 30.
• rtp has a cooldown of 600, with min_distance 500 and max_distance 25000. On 26.1.2.5 builds, rtp also has global_cooldown, a limit shared by everyone. The 1.21.1, 1.20.4 and 1.20.1 builds do not have that key.

Click Save and start the server. To give one rank more homes, the mod accepts the ftbessentials.home.max permission node through FTB Ranks.

If it does not work

• The server stops at startup. The Console names the missing mod. Install FTB Library, Fabric API on Fabric, or Architectury API on the 1.21.1 and older builds, then start again.
• Commands are unknown. Check Installed in Mods: the FTB Essentials file must match your loader and be enabled.
• A player cannot use /setwarp. It is for operators only.
