⚡ What is SpectatorOptimizer?
Are AFK players lagging your server with loaded chunks, running mob farms, and active redstone machines? Traditional plugins simply kick players out, which ruins player retention and creates annoying queues.
SpectatorOptimizer offers a modern, smart alternative! It automatically freezes the hardware load caused by inactive players by moving them into a highly optimized Spectator Mode. The moment they move, they are seamlessly returned to their game.
⚙️ Features that make it "Pop"
» Smart Inactivity Triggers: Automatically shifts players into Spectator mode after X seconds of complete stillness.
» Instant WASD Recovery: As soon as the player interacts or moves, they instantly wake up in their original game mode and position.
» Emergency TPS Protection: If your server's TPS drops below a customizable limit, the plugin aggressively checks and optimizes idle players to prevent performance drops or crashes.
» OP Safety Net: Server operators (OP) are completely ignored by the background tasks. Admins can stay AFK safely while monitoring the server.
» Multi-Language Config: Clean and easy config.yml allowing you to translate every single text line and use standard '&' color codes.
» Ultra Lightweight Execution: Coded natively for Paper 1.21.1 using modern asynchronous timers to ensure 0.00% impact on MSPT.
Commands & Permissions
» /so help — Opens up the interactive help menu. (Available to all players)
» /so reload — Reloads the configuration file on-the-fly. (Strictly OP Only)
» Bypass permission for donators/VIPs: spectatoroptimizer.bypass
