Ready Player Fun

by wendall911

Ready Player Fun pauses a server's time, weather and season settings while no players are logged in, then resumes them when someone logs back in.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.1 – 26.3

What it does

The server-side mod keeps time, weather and season progress frozen once the last player logs out, so a world does not advance for nobody. Players who join later find the settings where they left them. It needs Fabric API and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 19 release versions, 1.18.1 – 26.3, released under the MIT License and open source.

Key features

  1. Pause on empty server

    Time, weather and season progress stop when no player is logged in and resume once someone logs back in.

  2. Unpause notification

    The mod sends players a notification that the world has resumed when they first join.

  3. Adjustable pause delay

    The delay before the world pauses can be set in the mod's config, so server owners can tune how long an empty server waits.

Fabric APILightweight and modular API providing common hooks and intercompatibility measures utilized by mods using the Fabric toolchain.
Required

Optional 10

HomeostaticA temperature and thirst mod that doesn't defy logic. Challenging, but not in an annoying, grinding way. Very stable code, so shouldn't randomly crash game. Very vanilla friendly. Should integrate well with a heavily modded pack, or vanilla.
Optional
Actually HarvestAn actual working right click harvest without dependencies. XP from harvest feature as well. Should work with most modded farming mods.
Optional
Better DaysGives you control over the passage of time by allowing you to customize the length of the day-night cycle and alters the Minecraft sleep mechanic by accelerating the speed of time.
Optional
Creeper Fireworks ModFine tuned creeper mob griefing that changes how creeper explosions are handled. Fireworks still work even if mob griefing is disabled. This is a mod, not a datapack, so all other mods are supported that modify or extend creepers.
Optional
Serene SeasonsSeasons with changing colors, shifting temperatures, and more!
Optional
Survivalist EssentialsAn early game survival concept for immersion into various mods. Enforces correct tool to be used for breaking blocks, so no tree punching!

Questions

Does Ready Player Fun need to be installed on clients?

No. It is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and only the server runs it alongside Fabric API.

What the author says

In versions after 1.21.2, the mod will set pause-when-empty-seconds based on the config instead of server.properties. Will continue to send unpause notification when users first join. Ever have a server with friends and want to use time and season mods, but the time, weather and seasons continue while nobody is…
