Ready Player Fun
In versions after 1.21.2, the mod will set the pause-when-empty-seconds parameter based on configuration rather than server.properties. The unpause notification will still be sent when users first connect.
Have you ever run a server with friends and wanted to use time and season mods, but time, weather, and seasons kept progressing even when no one was online? Then this mod is made just for you! Ready Player Fun is a server-side mod that allows you to preserve time, weather, and season settings after the last player logs out and resume them when a player next joins the server.
