ServerAutoStop

ServerAutoStop

ServerAutoStop is a lightweight Minecraft server plugin that automatically shuts down your server at a scheduled time.

Configure your shutdown schedule and warning messages directly in config.yml. Keep your server management simple and avoid leaving your server running longer than necessary.

Features

• Scheduled Shutdowns: Automatically shut down your server at a configurable time.
• Customizable Warnings: Add multiple warning messages to notify players before shutdown.
• Flexible Timing: Choose how many minutes before shutdown each warning is sent.
• Custom Messages: Configure warning and shutdown messages to suit your server.
• Daily Shutdown Cancellation: Cancel the scheduled shutdown for the current day when needed.
• Automatic Startup Handling: If the server starts after its scheduled shutdown time, the shutdown is skipped for that day.
• Data Saving: Save server data before shutdown.

Configuration

Edit config.yml to customize your shutdown time and warning messages.

Example:

stop-time: "22:00"

warnings:
  - minutes: 10
    message: "[ServerAutoStop] The server will shut down in %minutes% minutes!"

  - minutes: 5
    message: "[ServerAutoStop] The server will shut down in %minutes% minutes!"

  - minutes: 1
    message: "[ServerAutoStop] The server will shut down soon!"

broadcast-message: "[ServerAutoStop] The server is shutting down."

You can add as many warning entries as you need. The %minutes% placeholder is replaced with the configured warning time.

Commands

The cancellation command requires operator permissions by default.

Important Notes

• The shutdown schedule uses the server machine's local time.
• If the server starts after the scheduled shutdown time, the shutdown is skipped for that day.
• ServerAutoStop shuts down the server; it does not automatically restart it.
