Multiplayer Server Pause

by iChun

Multiplayer Server Pause lets a server pause once every connected client is paused or sits on a pauseable screen.

What it does

When all players on a server are paused or on a pauseable screen, the server pauses too. Servers, including integrated ones, can also be set to pause when nobody is connected, which lowers CPU load, and they can announce each pause in chat. An operator can force a pause with the /pause command regardless of the state of the clients.

Fabric API and iChunUtil are required. Multiplayer Server Pause is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.16.3 – 1.21.5, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Both the client and the server need the mod.

Key features

  1. Pause when clients pause

    The server pauses once every connected client is paused or on a pauseable screen.

  2. Pause with no clients

    An option pauses a server that has no clients connected, reducing CPU use while it is empty.

  3. Operator pause command

    The /pause command lets an operator force a server pause regardless of client state.

What the author says

Simple utility mod that allows servers (including integrated servers) to pause when all connected clients are paused/on a pauseable screen. You can also configure it to pause servers when there are no clients connected (to save your CPU!) and to send a chat message when the server pauses.
