Why was the Essential Mod installed by another mod?

Essential Mod is equipped with a suite of tools and APIs designed for mod development, which other mod creators might choose to integrate into their projects. If a mod requiring Essential is used, it will automatically install Essential to ensure compatibility. Essential is necessary for these mods to function correctly. However, you can still deactivate Essential's features in its settings without impacting other mods that depend on it.

Disabling Essential

  1. From the home screen, open the Essential Settings
  2. Disable General > Essential
