How to Set Up ForgeEssentials
In order to install ForgeEssentials mod on your Forge server you will have to do the following:

- Upload the mod to your
modsfolder. We highly recommend you to upload the plugin through FileZilla.
Here is our guide for using FileZilla.
- Restart your server.
Setting Up Basic Permissions
Example of setting up some simple Permissions Setup tasks.
/p global spawn here – To set the global spawn.
/p group members create – To create a server-group.
/p group members prefix &f[&2MEMBER&f] – To set the chat prefix for our group with some color codes for formatting.
/p group _GUESTS_ prefix &f[&2GUEST&f] – To set the chat prefix for the system-group _GUESTS_, which contains all players without any group.
/p group _GUESTS_ deny fe.commands.* fe.protection.break.* fe.protection.place.* fe.protection.interact.* – This denies default access to most destructive permissions to a group.
/p group _GUESTS_ allow fe.protection.interact.minecraft.stone_button.* fe.protection.interact.minecraft.wooden_button.* fe.protection.interact.minecraft.wooden_door.* fe.protection.interact.minecraft.lever.* fe.protection.interact.minecraft.trapdoor.* – This allows group interaction with buttons, levers and doors.
/p user MyAwesomeNickname group set members – To set MyAwesomeNickname in the group members
Permissions
ForgeEssentials permissions:
fe.perm.group # Allow basic access to groups (displays infos)
fe.perm.group.fix # Allow setting group prefix / suffix
fe.perm.group.perms # Allow modifying group permissions
fe.perm.group.spawn # Allow setting group spawn
You can also use the asterisk ( * ) wildcard on any parent node to control access to all child permissions.
To allow access to fe.perm.group, fe.perm.group.fix, fe.perm.group.perms and fe.perm.group.spawn you can use the permission fe.perm.group.*.
