GitHub - Timvisee/lazymc: Put Your Minecraft Server To Rest When Idle

Some Minecraft servers (especially modded) use an insane amount of resources when nobody is playing. lazymc allows you to stop your server from being inactive until a player connects.



As a proxy between clients/servers, lazymc acts as a proxy. It handles all incoming status connections up to the server being started, and then transparently relays/proxies any rest. All this without their knowledge.



- Very lightweight, low-profile, and efficient (3KB RAM). – Supports Minecraft Java Edition 1.7+, supports modded servers (e.g. Forge, FTB) - Configure joining client occupation methods: - Hold: hold clients when server starts, relay when ready, without them noticing - Kick: kick clients when server starts, with a starting message - Forward: forward client to another IP when server starts Lobby: keep client in emulated server with lobby world, teleport to real server when ready (experimental*)



- Linux, macOS, Windows - Minecraft Java edition 1.6+ – On Windows: RCON
