First Light

When running a server on a personal computer, many users encounter an unpleasant situation: sudden crashes can roll back progress by several hours. Players inevitably get upset when discovering their lost achievements. Unfortunately, during prolonged operation without restarts, the server can indeed fail.

This plugin elegantly solves this problem - it automatically shuts down the server when the last remaining player leaves the game. At the same time, in-game time is reset to dawn (0 ticks) so that the next connecting players start their day in the morning.

Main Features

• Automated server shutdown
• Time set to dawn

Note that the plugin will frequently shut down the server, so it's worth configuring automatic restart via a loop script.
