ActiveTime

Your world only progresses while you play.

ActiveTime is a lightweight server-side mod/plugin built for private SMPs, co-op groups, and modded survival playthroughs.

Leaving a 24/7 server running shouldn't punish you. When nobody is online, world progression shouldn't advance needlessly—seasons shouldn't rotate, days shouldn't tick away, and time-based difficulty shouldn't scale up while everyone is asleep.

Using Minecraft's native tick simulation freeze (1.20.3+), ActiveTime automatically pauses the world the moment the server is empty, and resumes instantly before the next player loads in.

Available for: Paper / Purpur, Fabric, and Forge (1.20.3+)

Why use this?

Scenario Vanilla / Default Server With ActiveTime
Everyone is offline Days cycle needlessly, seasons pass, crop timers run out World simulation freezes completely in place
Modded progression Difficulty scales up, food spoils while you sleep All mod timers (seasons, day counters) pause safely
A friend joins at 3 AM They wake up to a different in-game week Resumes instantly right where the group left off
