Features

• Blocks all purchase flows -- Cosmetic, emote, bundle, and gift purchases are intercepted and cancelled.
• Blocks coin purchases -- Coin bundle purchases and welcome coin claims are prevented.
• Blocks checkout packets -- Monetization-related network packets are dropped before they leave the client.
• Disables cosmetic rendering -- Shop cosmetics are not rendered on player models.
• Blocks emote equipping -- The emote wheel and emote playback are disabled.
• Removes sale/promo notices -- Sale banners, cosmetic "new" dots, and promotional toasts are suppressed.
• Blocks wardrobe nag modals -- The "unowned items equipped" warning is removed.
• Coins purchase modal -- The coin purchase dialog is blocked from opening.
• Removes menu buttons -- Essential's buttons are removed from the main menu and pause menu.

How It Works

This mod uses SpongePowered Mixin to intercept Essential's methods at runtime. It does not modify Essential's JAR file or redistribute any Essential code. All changes are local and client-side only.

Keybinds

Essential's keybinds (Wardrobe, Emote Wheel, Toggle Cosmetics, etc.) still appear in the Controls menu but have no effect when the corresponding feature is blocked. You can safely unbind them in Minecraft's Controls settings if desired.

Dependencies

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.x
• Essential mod (required at runtime)
