About
If your server always has a few players that AFK forever and causes a waste of server resources, or if you want something that can hold lots of players like a waiting room or server lobby, you can consider using a Limbo server.
Currently, the program is still under development and things will continue to be added.
Limbo Server is built against 26.1.1 and wouldn't work with other versions. However, you can use the Limbo plugin ViaLimbo do make it possible!
A small .schem can be loaded as the default world (the current sponge/worldedit schematic format) and player skins are also supported.
Limbo Server also has an API which allows you to create simple plugins and change the behaviour of the Limbo, such as listening to chat events, adding custom commands, sending custom packets, or even adding more worlds.

Limbo server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong java-agent version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Limbo compatible with java-agent?
Limbo officially supports java-agent for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Limbo – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Limbo 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.
