-!!! important
-
-    As of [1.21.2](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_1.21.2) it is not recommend to use this feature since Minecraft server natively auto-pauses when the server is empty. That is configured via the enivironment variable `PAUSE_WHEN_EMPTY_SECONDS`, which maps to the `pause-when-empty-seconds` server property. 
 
 An auto-pause functionality is provided that monitors whether clients are connected to the server. If a client is not connected for a specified time, the Java process is put into a pause state. When a client attempts to connect while the process is paused, then process will be restored to a running state. The experience for the client does not change.

 By default, the container will install the latest [fabric server launcher](https://fabricmc.net/use/server/), using the latest [fabric-loader](https://fabricmc.net/wiki/documentation:fabric_loader) against the minecraft version you have defined with `VERSION` (defaulting to the latest vanilla release of the game).
 
 A specific loader or launcher version other than the latest can be requested using `FABRIC_LOADER_VERSION` and `FABRIC_LAUNCHER_VERSION` respectively, such as:
 
-!!! example "Using launcher and loader versions"
-
-    With docker run
-

-    
-    ```yaml
-    environment:
-      EULA: TRUE
-      TYPE: FABRIC
-      FABRIC_LAUNCHER_VERSION: 0.10.2

+```
 
 !!! note
 
-    See the [Working with mods and plugins](../../mods-and-plugins/index.md) section to set up Fabric mods and configuration.
+    If you wish to use an alternative launcher you can:  
 
-## Fabric API
+    - Provide the path to a custom launcher jar available to the container with `FABRIC_LAUNCHER`, relative to `/data` (such as `-e FABRIC_LAUNCHER=fabric-server-custom.jar`)
+    - Provide the URL to a custom launcher jar with `FABRIC_LAUNCHER_URL` (such as `-e FABRIC_LAUNCHER_URL=http://HOST/fabric-server-custom.jar`)
 
-As [mentioned on the Fabric download page](https://fabricmc.net/use/installer/), most mods will require the Fabric API mod to be installed. That can be easily done by utilizing [the Modrinth downloads feature](../../mods-and-plugins/modrinth.md), such as adding this to the `environment` of a compose file service:
-
-```yaml
-      TYPE: FABRIC
-      MODRINTH_PROJECTS: |
-        fabric-api
-```
-
-## Alternate launcher
-
-If you wish to use an alternative launcher you can:  
-
-- Provide the path to a custom launcher jar available to the container with `FABRIC_LAUNCHER`, relative to `/data` (such as `-e FABRIC_LAUNCHER=fabric-server-custom.jar`)
-- Provide the URL to a custom launcher jar with `FABRIC_LAUNCHER_URL` (such as `-e FABRIC_LAUNCHER_URL=http://HOST/fabric-server-custom.jar`)
-
-## Force re-install
-
-If the Fabric launcher jar becomes corrupted you can temporarily set FABRIC_FORCE_REINSTALL to "true" to have it re-installed on next startup.
+See the [Working with mods and plugins](../../mods-and-plugins/index.md) section to set up Fabric mods and configuration.
