Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

⏸️PauseGame

Pause your game when no one is online and save resources. Just like the built in version but compatible with most other plugins!

This plugin takes advantage of the tick manager built into Minecraft which keeps compatability with server plugins.

🛠️Setup

All configuration is optional, simply plug and play!
