About this Mod

Unlike some other mods, executeing commands while the server is paused still works.

When the server is paused the world tick gets skiped, after unpausing evereything continues as usual. It save peformance if the server has a lot chunk loaders.

Easy configuration with commands:

/pause status - shows if pausing is enabled and the delay.
/pause set delay <secconds> - sets the delay after which the server is paused.
/pause set enabled <true/false> - turn pausing on and off.
/pause reload - reload the config from file.

You can configure every setting individually in auto-pause.json

Auto pause server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Auto pause – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Auto pause consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
