SmartRestartNotifier – Restart Alerts (Free)
SmartRestartNotifier is a lightweight utility plugin that provides clear and configurable restart countdown notifications for Minecraft servers.
The plugin does not restart the server automatically.
Its only purpose is to inform players in a clean, non-spammy way before a restart happens.
What This Plugin Does
- Displays restart countdown alerts to players
- Helps prevent confusion and disconnect spam
- Improves player experience during restarts
Notification Types
All notifications are fully configurable:
- Title – shown at important countdown checkpoints
- ActionBar – live countdown updated every second
- Chat messages – sent only at selected times to avoid spam
- Sounds – optional alert sounds
⏱ Smart Anti-Spam System
Messages are only broadcast at configured checkpoints
(e.g. 5 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds, 10 seconds before restart).
This prevents chat spam while still keeping players informed.
