Screensaver

by KSmc's Team

Screensaver shows an image or a game on the client after a player has been idle for a set time, and the timeout and image path are set in its config file.

What it does

When a player stops giving input for a configured duration, the client switches to a screensaver. By default the timeout is 300 seconds, which is 5 minutes, and the value is set in the mod's configuration file in seconds. The screensaver can display a custom image instead of the default one, and the path to that image is also changed in the same configuration file.

Only image formats are accepted for the screensaver file. Changes to the file take effect when the configuration is reloaded or when a resource pack is reloaded, so players do not need to restart the game. The mod is Forge-only and covers Minecraft 1.20.1, with version 1.0 published on 2025-01-13. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

The screensaver can also show a game, and the author describes this as a feature of the mod. The source code is open source under the MIT License, and a public issue tracker and wiki are available.

Key features

  1. Idle-triggered screensaver

    The screensaver appears after the player has been idle for the configured number of seconds, with 300 seconds as the default.

  2. Custom image path

    A path in the configuration file points to the image shown on the screensaver, and only image formats are read.

  3. Automatic reloading

    Changes to the screensaver file are picked up when the configuration or resource packs are reloaded.

  4. Debug image commands

    The debug-image command lists the loaded images, removes a file from the loaded set, and reloads the screensaver file.

  5. Reload shortcut

    Pressing F3 and T reloads the screensaver file without a command, which helps when testing a new image.
