lazymc puts your Minecraft server to rest when idle, and wakes it up when
players connect.
Some Minecraft servers (especially modded) use an insane amount of resources when nobody is playing. lazymc helps by by stopping your server when idle, until a player connects again.
lazymc functions as proxy between clients and the server. It handles all incoming status connections until the server is started and then transparently proxies the rest.
Note: this is a prototype and may be incomplete.

- Minecraft Java Edition 1.6 or above
- On Windows: RCON (automatically managed by default)
Using a modded Minecraft server and client (such as Forge) should work fine.
Make sure you meet all requirements.
Note: Installation options are limited at this moment. Read-to-go binaries will be published later. For now we compile and install from source.
To compile and install you need Rust, install it through rustup: https://rustup.rs/
When Rust is installed, compile and install lazymc from this git repository:
# Compile and install lazymc from source
cargo install -f --git https://github.com/timvisee/lazymc
# Ensure lazymc works
lazymc --helpWhen lazymc is available, change into your server directory. Then set up the
configuration and start it up:
# Change into your server directory
cd server
# Generate lazymc configuration
lazymc config generate
# Edit configuration
# Set the correct server address, directory and start command
nano lazymc.toml
# Start lazymc
lazymc startEverything should now be running. Connect with your Minecraft client to wake your server up!
