Pause Please
Pause Please is a client-side Minecraft mod that reminds you to take breaks during long playing sessions.
Minecraft is fun. Your eyes are not infinite. Pause Please politely tells you to pause every now and then and recommends a stretch, a swig of water, and maybe even a touch of grass, if you dare.
Features
Configurable reminder interval
In-game toast reminders during long playing sessions
Optional hard playtime limit
Forced breaks after the hard limit is reached
“Wait It Out” countdown screen before play can continue
Quit/relaunch protection so you didn't install the mod for nothin
- ModMenu support for configuration (works without ModMenu, if you want to edit a .json config directly)
Default Settings
By default, Pause Please uses:
Break reminder: 2 hours
Hard limit: 4 hours
- Break lockout: 15 minutes
These can be changed through ModMenu or by editing the generated config file.
Configuration
The config file is generated at:
config/pause-please.json
Configurable options:
Reminder interval
Hard limit duration
Lockout/break duration
Reminder toggle
- Hard limit toggle
Why?
Because sometimes you open Minecraft for just a little bit and suddenly you wasted several hours and received a breakup text.
Pause Please does not try to be serious or annoying. It just gives you a reminder that maybe, possibly, perhaps, you should pause, and get out of your sweat-stained chair.
