📖 Description
The Simple Freeze Datapack gives you instant control over player movement on your server.
Perfect for events, minigames, announcements, roleplay, or admin control, this datapack lets you stop all players in place with a single function call.
It uses only built-in vanilla commands, making it version-independent, modloader-independent, and extremely lightweight.
🧊 Freeze Players
Use the main freeze function:
/function simple_freeze:freeze
This applies powerful movement-blocking effects to all players:
- Slowness 255 – completely disables walking
- Jump Boost 250 – prevents jumping
- Mining Fatigue 255 – blocks breaking and interacting
Players remain online and visible — but fully immobilized.
