NobodyPopulation
NobodyPopulation is a lightweight Paper plugin that displays configurable virtual players in the server list and, optionally, in the in-game TAB list.
It was created especially for new and growing Minecraft servers. Starting a new server can be difficult when only a few players are online at the beginning. NobodyPopulation helps make quieter periods feel a little more active while keeping the setup simple and lightweight.
No real bots, NPCs, entities, or player sessions are created.
