PauseGameFabric
Dynamically pause your multiplayer worlds!
About this Mod
PauseGameFabric
Pause your world automatically as soon as no one is logged onto the server or tabbed out just like singleplayer. You can also install this mod on the client to have a functioning pause menu on multiplayers servers (if all players are paused)
You can also find a version for Spigot here!
Setup
All configuration is optional and is done for you, simply add the the jar to your mod folder and you're set!
This plugin takes advantage of the tick manager built into Minecraft. It is recommended not to use this plugin if you're already using this system yourself.
1.21.4+
This mod is still compatible with 1.21.4 but only with pause-when-empty-seconds disabled as this mod is functionally different from that server setting.

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