🌍 Server Side only mod 🌍
🤖 Mod created with AI 🤖
⚙️ For Players
-
Disconnecting doesn’t make nearby mobs instantly disappear.
-
When you log back in, creatures that were close to you may still be around.
-
Be careful — some drifters may switch from standing to crawling (I’ll try to fix this in a future update).
🛠️ For Server Admins
-
The mod currently operates entirely in memory (no disk persistence).
-
Snapshots are automatically taken when a player disconnects and restored when someone re-enters the same area.
-
Should be compatible with large servers — no noticeable lag spikes during capture or restore.
-
Server logs display detailed zone and snapshot events for debugging or fine-tuning.
-
Note: All snapshots are lost when the server restarts.
- Compatibel whether "PassTimeWhenEmpty" is enabled or disabled.
🚧 Development Notes
This is an early version, tested so far only on a small 3-player server.
Future updates will include:
-
✅ Scheduled hard-saves at defined times (e.g. before automatic restarts).
-
✅ Post-restart restoration of saved snapshots.
-
🔄 Restoration of mob skins and crawling state (if technical API access allows).
📜 Disclaimer
This mod is experimental and designed for enthusiasts who want a more immersive, unforgiving world.
Use it at your own risk — feedback and reports are welcome to help refine the next versions.
