Serverpauser
by Smileycorp
Serverpauser is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 that stops server ticks while no players are online, so time-based events stop advancing.
What it does
When no player is logged in, the server pauses its ticks. Day cycle and other time-based events hold their current state until someone rejoins, which keeps chunk-loaded farms from running with nobody present. Only the server needs the mod; players join without installing anything. The license is the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and the code is open source.
Key features
Pauses ticks with no players online
Server ticks stop once every player has logged off, and resume when someone connects again.
Holds the day cycle
Time-based progression such as the day cycle stops while the server is empty, which matters for modded time mechanics.
Reduces wear on idle servers
Chunk-loaded farms and other unattended machines stop running, easing load on server hardware.
