Overview

Idle Freeze will stop time from progressing in your Minecraft world when nobody is online. Once a player joins the game, things will continue as normal as if nothing happened.

Using versions 1.21.3+?

Your server will automatically pause by default after 60 seconds when no one is online, meaning you do not have to install Idle Freeze. To check this, go into your server.properties and find this line:

pause-when-empty-seconds=60
