About

If your server always has a few players that AFK forever and causes a waste of server resources, or if you want something that can hold lots of players like a waiting room or server lobby, you can consider using a Limbo server.

This standalone server program can act as any other backend server in your bungeecord network (tho can also work without, options in server.properties).

Currently, the program is still under development and things will continue to be added.

Limbo Server is built against 26.1.1 and wouldn't work with other versions. However, you can use the Limbo plugin ViaLimbo do make it possible!

A small .schem can be loaded as the default world (the current sponge/worldedit schematic format) and player skins are also supported.

Limbo Server also has an API which allows you to create simple plugins and change the behaviour of the Limbo, such as listening to chat events, adding custom commands, sending custom packets, or even adding more worlds.

Installation

  1. Put Limbo.jar in a folder you like
  2. Start the server just like any other spigot server with java -jar Limbo.jar --nogui (Or without --nogui flag if you for some reason like the annoying GUI)
  3. Edit the server.properties
  4. Restart the server
  5. Set up and link the server to your bungeecord proxy if you use that (Remember to set bungeecord to true in step 3)
