The Game Crasher
by SuperAnt_
The Game Crasher lets a server operator stop a running game with a single command, and adds a lag crash as well.
What it does
The mod adds a command that crashes Minecraft instantly when it is run, which is the main function described by the author. A second option produces a lag crash that freezes the game through heavy processing instead of an immediate stop. Because the environment is server required with the client optional, the server runs the mod, and players may add it on their side too. It is distributed under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a Data pack build is also available, across 27 release versions 1.18 – 1.21.11.
Key features
One-command crash
A single command halts the game immediately, with no delay or warning on the target side.
Lag crash
A separate crash method overloads the game with processing until it stops responding.
Data pack build
A data pack version is published for server platforms that load content that way.

What the author says
Run this command to crash the game: ### /function ant:crash --- The crash is not making lags on purpose or out of memory stuff, it is reusable, so you can safely join your world again after a crash and everything will probably be fine.
