SmartRestart
Schedule server restarts and stops with a single command — every player sees a live countdown BossBar in exact minutes and seconds with dynamic color warnings and sounds.
🔄 SmartRestart
SmartRestart is a clean, lightweight and fully configurable server restart and stop countdown plugin. Admins schedule a restart or stop with a single command — every online player immediately sees a live BossBar counting down in exact minutes and seconds. No complicated setup, no database, just drop it in and go.
The BossBar color changes dynamically as time runs out, warning sounds play at configurable intervals and a title flashes on screen in the final seconds. Everything — colors, sounds, warning intervals, kick messages and language — is controlled through a single config.yml.
