Simple utility mod that allows servers (including integrated servers) to pause when all connected clients are paused/on a pauseable screen.
You can also configure it to pause servers when there are no clients connected (to save your CPU!) and to send a chat message when the server pauses.
Also adds a /pause command for Ops to force a pause on the server regardless of the pause state of clients.
Required on both client and server.
