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 Mod is used, it will automatically install Essential Mod to ensure compatibility. Essential Mod is necessary for these mods to function correctly.
