NoNoLife
by Djinjay
NoNoLife limits how long players can stay on a Fabric server each day by counting down a playtime balance.
What it does
Playtime is a server-side budget. Each player receives a daily amount, plus an initial amount on the first join, and the balance counts down while the player is online. When it reaches zero, the player is kicked from the server. Unused time can stack up to a configurable maximum, and a full hour of extra playtime can be granted at a set hour of the day.
The remaining balance is drawn as a strip across the upper part of the display, and the total accumulated playtime can be shown in the player tab list. Server owners set all of this in a file named nonolife.json in the config folder. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything, and it needs Fabric API on the server.
The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric on 1.21.11 only, with source code and an issue tracker linked from the project. Version 0.0.2 for 1.21.11 was released on 2026-01-14, the same day as the first publication.
Key features
Daily playtime grant
Each player receives a configurable number of playtime seconds every day, which the server owner sets in the config.
Initial and capped balances
A first-join grant and a maximum stored amount can both be set, so new players and long-term accumulation are controlled separately.
Countdown and kick
Playtime counts down while a player is online, and the player is kicked from the server when the balance reaches zero.
On-screen and tab list display
The remaining balance is drawn as a strip across the upper part of the display, and total playtime can be shown in the player tab list.
