Plugin PauseGame

PauseGame, smart pausing for Minecraft servers

PauseGame is a Java plugin for Paper, Spigot, and Purpur that automatically pauses a multiplayer world when no players are online. By suspending the game’s activity during empty periods, it helps reduce unnecessary processor usage while keeping the server ready for the next connection.

The plugin relies on Minecraft’s built in tick manager, which supports compatibility with most server plugins and avoids stopping the entire server. Configuration is optional, making the experience simple and unobtrusive. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for survival communities and private servers seeking a lighter resource footprint without changing normal gameplay.
