pause_when_empty should by default be true, it is the default and intended behavior for 99% of servers, along with that, most players(myself included), expect that default configs will match the standard default of the game, and this caught me off guard to see the game was still running.
Geyser is actually cross platform, not just bedrock.
Also, dragonproxy is entirely abandoned in favour of geyser so removed all instances of dragonproxy and just left a msg saying use geyser in the top level readme.
