empty server shutdown
Empty server shutdown stops a Fabric server once no players have been online for a set time.
What it does
After the last player leaves, the server waits for a configured number of seconds and then shuts down. The delay is set in the mod's config, and the value must be a whole number of seconds, since decimal values are not accepted. The mod runs only on the server, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric on 1.21.10 and is released under the MIT License as open source.
