Maintenance Countdown

Your ultimate solution for managing server shutdowns and maintenance with style.

Maintenance Countdown is a lightweight yet powerful plugin designed for Spigot, Paper, and their forks. It provides administrators with a simple, modern way to manage server-wide countdowns before scheduled maintenance, reboots, or special events.

Key Features:

Modern Compatibility: Built with the latest Adventure API, ensuring seamless performance and beautiful messages on Minecraft versions 1.20.5 and newer.
Intuitive Command System: All actions are handled through a single, easy-to-use command, /maintcount, with full tab-completion for all subcommands and arguments.
Flexible Scheduling: Schedule a maintenance countdown to start automatically at a specific date and time. Use /maintcount schedule <YYYY-MM-DD> <HH:mm> <soft|hard|no>.
Full Customization: Every message, title, and action bar is fully customizable in the config.yml file, supporting modern MiniMessage formatting and placeholders.
Multiple Shutdown Scenarios: Choose between a soft shutdown (kicking players with a message before shutdown), a hard shutdown (immediate server stop), or no shutdown (timer-only).
Player Notifications: Ensure no one misses the announcement with clear, on-screen titles and a dynamic action bar countdown that updates in real-time.

- start <duration> <scenario> - Starts a countdown (e.g., 5m or 3m).
