About this Mod
This mod adds a screensaver to the game, which will be displayed after the player has been idle for a specified duration, and it has been open-sourced on GitHub.
By default, the screensaver will be displayed after the player has been idle for 300 seconds, which is 5 minutes. If you are not satisfied with the default screensaver, you can modify the timeout option in the mod's configuration file to change the duration, with the unit being seconds. Additionally, you can modify the path of the screensaver file through the configuration file. The screensaver file only supports image formats. The configuration options for the screensaver file will be automatically reloaded every time the resource pack is reloaded. Moreover, you can use the command /debug-image list to view all loaded images.
Note: If you modify the information of an image but do not change the file path, reloading will not reload the screensaver file. In this case, you must first use the command /debug-image remove <path> to delete the file path information from the loaded images, and then use the command /debug-image reload or press F3+T to reload the screensaver file.

Screensaver server crashes on startup – what to do?

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