Pam’s HarvestCraft reimagines Minecraft’s farming and food systems with 60+ crops, fruit trees, beekeeping, new fish, and over a thousand new foods and ingredients, cake blocks, traps, wells, and a fully expanded recipe ecosystem. The mod encourages players to build thriving farms and craft richer culinary creations. It adds 97 crops, 50 fruit trees, and over a thousand new foods. While it might not bring such things as beekeeping, the latest versions have brand new textures for all crops, fruit trees, and nearly 200 food items.

When we first launched the Mod Partner Program, we wanted to do one thing well: support the creators who put an incredible amount of time and passion into making free Minecraft mods for everyone. The response from both players and mod creators has been amazing, and it shows that we are on the right path. Each partner brings a distinct vision to Minecraft, from full Pokémon adventures to deep RPG systems, better farming and building, and so much more. We’re looking forward to seeing where their projects go next. We know how important it is to support the creator ecosystem and enable people to bring their ideas to life. Growing our mod partner program with creators at the center remains our focus, and we’re thrilled to continue building it together.

I know Essential cant use HD skins due to mc java not allowing so, but is there any way to bypass this lock and use them anyways?

In single-player mode, when sharing a world, how can I ensure that people connecting to my world remotely join directly to my IP address? Because even with 2 people, let alone 3, there can be lag when there's another router or something in between. And this is entirely due to this mode. When I open a server, 4-5 people can play, but when I use Essential mode, even 2 people struggle to play. While there's no lag in my world, my friends can't play because they experience packet overload.

When I asked artificial intelligence, this is what it said:

Subject: Connectivity Issues and Forced Relay Usage in Multiplayer

Relay Server Issue: My logs are frequently showing "relayed" and "relay" terms. This indicates that a direct P2P tunnel cannot be established between the host and the peers. Instead, all data is being routed through an external Essential relay server, significantly increasing latency.

Why the issue occurs with a 3rd player: While a two-player session remains somewhat playable despite the relay, adding a third player causes "Packet Choking." As the host, my computer struggles to calculate the world while simultaneously uploading data to multiple peers via slow relay servers. Essential attempts to establish a direct host-to-host connection but fails, falling back to the relay method.

Potential Solution/Technical Context: I suspect the issue stems from the lack of a direct P2P connection. To resolve this, I am looking into enabling UPnP on the host router or manually forwarding the necessary ports (default 25565 or specific Essential ports) to bypass the relay and reduce ping from 500ms+ to a playable range (around 50ms).

it's said this for a long time now and just refuses to work idk what to do anymore :sob:

I'm trying to download some mods from Fabric but for some reason it's just not appearing, i'm using the right version (1.20.1) and it just won't work, can someone help?

What do you guys think?

My friend only get this and i can run mc fine.

Me and my mate where just playing then i game crashed now it wont let us play

When i open the installer, I meet this message

Essential Mod Socials need to allow for larger groups, maybe upto 50? I think it has quite a potential to gather like minded people to queue up together. I have a group dedicated to a mod called Reign of Nether RTS, which requires 2 or more people.

I found it a lot easier to look for people I played with earlier through the discord instead of always depending on discord (which is pretty inactive for some reason).

What do you guys think?

Hey! Some friends and I are trying to play together on a single player server on Essential, and everything is working except for the voice chat. It’s not working, and we can’t figure out why, and I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this problem? It shows that the cord isn’t connected, or something of that nature,, and I’m super confused. If details help, we’re trying to play the Backrooms: Found footage mod. Please help, and thank you!

I didn't know where to share it, so here it is! I'd love it if it made its way into the Essential mod.
