ColdWinter [1.8-1.21+]

Freeze your server when no one's home!

Unload chunks and make the server sleep when no ones on-line. Handy for small servers that might not see constant player activity (hosting for a group of friends, etc).

A spiritual successor of Hibernate for 1.21 and beyond!

Commands

/coldwinter - Toggles freezing on/off.
/coldwinter status - Displays the current freezing status & loaded chunks.
/coldwinter reload - Reloads the ColdWinter configuration.

FAQ:

Q1: My web-map plugin isn't rendering anymore!?

Q2: "Can’t Keep Up! Is the Server Overloaded?" messages are appearing constantly!?

Q3: My server performance monitoring plugin says my TPS is bad!?

• A3: Read A1

bStats statistics (which can be disabled inside its configuration for your server).
