ServerAlarmClock

ServerAlarmClock is the perfect solution for automatically waking up your Minecraft server! Tired of encountering situations where the server is in sleep mode and players can't connect? This plugin ensures automatic server startup when a player attempts to join, guaranteeing minimal waiting time.

Key Features

• 🚀 Automatic Server Startup: The server automatically turns on when a player tries to connect to a stopped or sleeping server.
• 💬 Customizable Messages: Send personalized notifications to players while they wait for the server to start.
• 🔧 Simple Configuration: Easy setup without unnecessary complications.

How It Works

Commands

# reload plugin configuration (serveralarmclock.reload)
/sac reload

Installation Guide

1. Plugin Installation:

   • Download the ServerAlarmClock.jar file and place it in your BungeeCord plugins folder.

2. Flag Configuration:

   • Open the config.yml file in the ServerAlarmClock folder.
   • In the flags section, specify the paths to the flag files for each of your servers. These flags will be used to start the servers.

3. Server Startup Script Setup:

   • Create or modify the server startup script by adding the flag file check logic. A Linux script example is provided at the end of this description.

4. Server Startup:

   • After completing the setup, reload the plugin using the /sac reload command. The plugin will now monitor connections and start the target server when a player attempts to join a stopped server.

5. Enjoy!
