About

ServerSentinel is a Paper plugin that keeps a configurable area active when no human players are online. It places a persistent, named sentinel NPC at a chosen world location, force-loads a configurable chunk radius, and refreshes chunk tickets on a schedule so crops, furnaces, and other block activity continue ticking. Administrators can reload settings, move or remove the sentinel, inspect status, and cleanly release chunk tickets on shutdown. It does not create an authenticated network client, so host-side empty-server suspension still requires an external bot or hosting setting.
