Server Heater
by Nerjal_Nosk
Server Heater keeps a server from freezing when it shuts down, by running a non-blocking parallel process that works through the remaining tasks.
What it does
When a server begins its shutdown sequence, Server Heater detects it and starts a parallel process at configurable intervals. Server owners are advised to read the settings description on the wiki page and tune the configuration in order. It runs on Fabric and NeoForge across game versions 1.16 – 26.2, and only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. The code is under a custom license and is not open source.
Key features

Server Heater notices when the server enters its shutdown sequence and starts acting on it.
Configurable intervals

What the author says
Because any server freezing when stopping needs a bit of warmth to reach destination. This mod detects when the server is entering its shutdown sequence, and starts a non-blocking parallel process that will, at various configurable intervals, try to push the rest of the game and other mods to end up what they might…
