Some features of Essentials mod

Fertile soil

Fertile soil is support for growing crops.
It has 10 variations, for wheat, carrot, potato, beetroot, and 6 saplings.
You can grow plants on this soil just like farmland, they grow as if on hydrated farmland even without water. They also cannot be trampled.
At random intervals, if nothing grows on it, the soil will plant a tree corresponding to its type on itself. Therefore, you do not need to plant again.

Obsidian Cutting Kits

This is a utility to collect obsidian quickly. Just right-click on obsidian to mine the obsidian and destroy the Obsidian Slicer.

Brazier

You can add an item or remove it with a right-click or automation.
Adding some water with a bucket helps to land Brazier from a safe height. It makes you extinguished if you stand on it. Instead, adding lava will cause everything on it to catch on fire. You can use it as a dustbin for items that do not set the area on fire.
A block of coal causes it to burn, emitting light. It doesn’t use up all the coal.
If you put a block of salt in it, it will prevent the spawn of witches in a large area. It has a radius of 32 blocks by default.

Sorting Hopper

Works almost like a regular funnel but with a slight difference that has huge ramifications.
It extracts the entries before inserting them. If you create a pillar that categorizes funnels, items will move into the highest inventory first, then second inventory….

Slotted Chests

This is a chest the size of a double chest, and it has a very interesting shape.
When removing an item from a slot, it will leave a ghost item.
You can move the mouse click on the chest when the location where the items are coming is already having the right item.
To delete a ghost item, shift-click the item with the empty cursor. Also, automation will respect ghost entries. It only is able to insert into a slot if it already has a match and when unpacking the items.
It will always leave a ghost entry behind. You can format your storage chests without fear of change clicks or automation messing it up.

Port Extender

It allows attaching more input/output items to one block.
By attaching it to a block and orienting it, the gray square on the front will behave as it was connected to the block itself. And so will anything attached to this Extender.
If a funnel pointing at the end of the Gate Extender is pointed at a furnace, the hopper can insert items into the top of the Oven.

Candle Lilypad

This is a decorative block in Essentials mod.
Its functions as a lilypad while emitting the same amount of light as a torch

Item Chute

This item simplifies transferring items vertically. There are two parts to a trough: the Item Mute itself and the Item Gate.
If there is an inventory in the block space, you can insert the items into the inventory. Instead, it will stop exporting items once it’s full.

Extra Recipes

You can turn off the necessary feature of adding some recipes through the configuration.
It includes a saddle recipe and nameplate, a shapeless piston recipe that fits into a 2×2 grid. It also has a similar price tag.

Essentials is really an extremely interesting multifunctional mod that you should not ignore for your device.
