About this Mod

Pause Please

Pause Please is a client-side Minecraft mod that reminds you to take breaks during long playing sessions.

Minecraft is fun. Your eyes are not infinite. Pause Please politely tells you to pause every now and then and recommends a stretch, a swig of water, and maybe even a touch of grass, if you dare.

Features

  • Configurable reminder interval

  • In-game toast reminders during long playing sessions

  • Optional hard playtime limit

  • Forced breaks after the hard limit is reached

  • “Wait It Out” countdown screen before play can continue

  • Quit/relaunch protection so you didn't install the mod for nothin

  • ModMenu support for configuration (works without ModMenu, if you want to edit a .json config directly)

Default Settings

By default, Pause Please uses:

  • Break reminder: 2 hours

  • Hard limit: 4 hours

  • Break lockout: 15 minutes

These can be changed through ModMenu or by editing the generated config file.

Configuration

The config file is generated at:


config/pause-please.json

Configurable options:

  • Reminder interval

  • Hard limit duration

  • Lockout/break duration

  • Reminder toggle

  • Hard limit toggle

Why?

Because sometimes you open Minecraft for just a little bit and suddenly you wasted several hours and received a breakup text.

Pause Please does not try to be serious or annoying. It just gives you a reminder that maybe, possibly, perhaps, you should pause, and get out of your sweat-stained chair.

Pause Please server crashes on startup – what to do?
