About The Project

Hibernate Fabric is a lightweight tool that automatically puts your Minecraft Fabric server to sleep when no players are online. By reducing CPU usage during idle times, it helps save server resources, lowers your electricity bill, and makes your server more eco-friendly. It's a simple way to keep your Minecraft world running smoothly without wasting power when it's not needed.

Built With

This project is built with the following technologies:

  • Java
  • Gradle
  • Fabric

Run

You will need a Minecraft Fabric server.

  1. Download hibernate-fabric-x.x.x+mc1.x.x.jar from one of the places at the top of this README.
  2. Copy the downloaded jar file to the mods folder of your Minecraft Fabric server.

Don't forget to set pause-when-empty-seconds to 0 in your server.properties file to disable the vanilla hibernation system.

Getting Started With Development

To get a local copy up and running, follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

  • Java Development Kit (JDK): Version 21 or higher.
  • Gradle: Version 9.1 or higher.
  • Minecraft: Version 1.21.11

cd hibernate-fabric
  1. Build the project with Gradle
./gradlew clean build

You can find the built mod at hibernate-fabric/build/libs/hibernate-fabric-x.x.x+mc1.x.x.jar.

Configuration

The mod automatically creates a configuration file at config/hibernate-fabric.json on first run. Here are the available settings:

Setting Default Description startEnabled true Whether hibernation activates automatically when server starts with no players ticksToSkip 400 Number of ticks to process before applying sleep during hibernation permissionLevel 2 Required permission level to use hibernation commands (0=all, 4=owner) sleepTimeMs 75 Milliseconds to sleep between tick processing cycles

Memory Optimization

... "enableMemoryOptimization": true, "memoryCleanupIntervalSeconds": 30, "memoryThresholdPercent": 80.0, "forceGarbageCollection": true, "gcIntervalSeconds": 30, "saveBeforeHibernation": true, "removeEntities": [ "minecraft:item", "minecraft:firework_rocket", "minecraft:arrow", "minecraft:experience_orb" ], "droppedItemMaxAgeSeconds": 300, "logMemoryUsage": true, ... Setting Default Description enableMemoryOptimization true Enable memory cleanup during hibernation memoryCleanupIntervalSeconds 30 How often to run memory cleanup routines memoryThresholdPercent 80.0 Memory usage percentage that triggers cleanup forceGarbageCollection true Force Java garbage collection during hibernation gcIntervalSeconds 30 Minimum time between garbage collection runs saveBeforeHibernation true Save world data before entering hibernation removeEntities item, firework_rocket, arrow, experience_orb List of entities to remove during hibernation (ignores entities with custom names) droppedItemMaxAgeSeconds 300 Age in seconds after which items are removed (5 minutes) logMemoryUsage true Log memory usage information to console

CPU Optimization

... "aggressiveCpuSaving": true, "minSleepInterval": 1500, "highLoadSleepMultiplier": 1.5, "yieldInterval": 8, ... Setting Default Description aggressiveCpuSaving true Enable more aggressive CPU saving measures minSleepInterval 1500 Minimum time in milliseconds between sleep cycles highLoadSleepMultiplier 1.5 Multiplier for sleep time when system load is high yieldInterval 8 How often to yield CPU to other threads (every N ticks)

Gamerule Values When Not Hibernating

... "restoreGameRulesAs": { "advance_time": true, "advance_weather": true, "random_tick_speed": 3, "spawn_mobs": true, "fire_spread_radius_around_player": 128 } } Setting Default Description advance_time true The value to restore the gamerule advance_time as when coming out of hibernation advance_weather true The value to restore the gamerule advance_weather as when coming out of hibernation random_tick_speed 3 The value to restore the gamerule random_tick_speed as when coming out of hibernation spawn_mobs true The value to restore the gamerule spawn_mobs as when coming out of hibernation fire_spread_radius_around_player 128 The value to restore the gamerule fire_spread_radius_around_player as when coming out of hibernation
