Plugin FreezeHibernate

FreezeHibernate, an idle Minecraft server optimizer

FreezeHibernate is a lightweight Minecraft server plugin that pauses the game tick automatically when the last player disconnects. As soon as someone joins, normal ticking resumes without requiring repeated connection attempts. This reduces processor activity on quiet servers, especially worlds containing spawn chunks or force loaded chunks.

Designed for Spigot based servers, FreezeHibernate uses Minecraft’s tick debugging feature and works from version 1.20.4 onward, with testing reported for 1.20.6 and 1.21. There are no commands or configuration files, keeping management simple. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for small communities seeking a cleaner, more resource conscious idle experience.
