This have been really frustrating for me as of late since I just found out today that it seems to me that the Minetest Multiplayer List is based up if the server been online for at least 8 hours for the last 8 hours.

Rendering daily backups of the server (since it does have to be shut down for it be done safely.) pulling me to the bottom for up to a third of the day because of this up time “uptime” system.

So I am wondering what if there’s anything I am able to do? Like are there other options aside from playing a “creative like” game which is Minecraft and people birching to me, about paying for it?

      Will do! Thanks for the idea! I reprovision-ed the game server with no additional backends enabled to rule out any other variables as possible. Then I gotta start it, pause it manually and see what the panel is indicating of it, just to make sure it doesn’t think it’s dead or something and decides to kill it.

      If that goes to as plan then I will attempt to make a script to try to back it up, get into the game on an endless exploring venture and see how the GAME responds to this (the script will be primed on cron like 20 minutes in or something).
