Install on the server only; players don't need it
This Fabric mod is a backport of the new feature introduced in Minecraft 1.21.2 that allows the server to pause after a given time when there are no players present.
Similar to how it works in 1.21.2, a server admin can set pause-when-empty-seconds in server.properties. After this amount of seconds, the server will stop ticking the world etc. This brings down CPU usage significantly.
