Simple Player Freeze

by MinecraftKingdom

Simple Player Freeze lets a server owner freeze a player instantly, and unfreeze them with one command, using only vanilla effects.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.13 – 1.21.10

What it does

The mod is a datapack rather than a loader-specific mod. A single function call applies strong movement-blocking status effects to a player: Slowness 255 stops walking, Jump Boost 250 prevents jumping, and Mining Fatigue 255 blocks breaking and interacting with blocks. The player stays online and visible but cannot move or act in the world.

Restoring normal gameplay is also one call. It removes the freeze effects and returns the player to regular movement. The functions use only built-in vanilla commands, so they do not depend on a modloader version and fit event, minigame, announcement, roleplay or admin control setups on a server.

Because it is a datapack, it works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, as well as Paper, Spigot and vanilla servers. Builds cover 1.13 – 1.21.10, and the server is the side that needs it; players may add it but join without it. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Instant freeze

    One function call applies the freeze effects to a player, with no delay or setup.

  2. Instant unfreeze

    A second function call removes the effects and returns the player to normal movement.

  3. Blocks movement and actions

    Walking, jumping and breaking or interacting with blocks are all prevented while frozen.

  4. Vanilla commands only

    Built from built-in commands alone, with no plugin or mod code, so it adds very little load.

Use cases

Minigames and events

Hold players in place while a round starts, then release them with the unfreeze function.

Roleplay scenes

Keep participants still during a scripted moment and let them move again afterward.

Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who need to stop players from moving or acting without kicking them or changing game rules.

How it compares

Full comparison

Admin Tools is a Fabric mod for 1.21.8 that is server-side only and released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source. Idle Freeze (Server) covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 1.21.5 under the Apache License 2.0, with the server required and the client optional, and is not open source. CloudFreeze targets Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 and is client-side only, so it differs from this datapack in where it runs.
