About this Mod
Parental Controls
Adds a server-side per-player time limit.
Features
- Configurable time limit, kick message, etc.
- Tick-based timer (lag spikes won't count toward elapsed time)
- Reset at midnight
Usage
The default time limit is 8 hours (480 minutes), but this along with some other settings can be changed in the config/parentalcontrols.json file. This can be reloaded on the fly with the /parental reload command. As a player, you can query your time remaining with the /parental remaining command. The time remaining is internally counted per-tick, assuming that the server runs at 20 ticks per second.

Server lagging with Parental Controls – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Parental Controls consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
