No Wasted Time is a datapack that stops time on a multiplayer server when nobody is online

This prevents the days counter in F3 from continuously counting up when nobody is online, and keeps the sun in the same position from when the last player disconnected. Joining is no longer a dice roll of if its midnight!

Removal

Before removing the datapack, run /function dbx.nowastedtime:uninstall before deleting the file from your server.

Warning

If you have intentionally disabled the gamerule doDaylightCycle, do not use this datapack!
