About

PlayersOnly freezes all player characters in place while leaving creatures, physics, and server processes running. Toggle it on to lock players mid-action; toggle it again to unfreeze them.

Common uses include pausing the server during a scheduled event, taking screenshots without player movement, or testing mechanics without interference. Players remain visible and online but cannot move, attack, interact, or perform actions until you toggle the command a second time.
