AutoRestarter
by onedes1re
AutoRestarter schedules automatic restarts for a Fabric server, either on a fixed interval or at set weekly times.
What it does
Server owners can have the server restart on a timer, for example every 12 hours. The interval is written in seconds in the config file, where 12 hours is entered as its equivalent value in seconds. A second mode lets the restart happen on a weekly schedule instead, with a list of day and time entries that the owner edits to match their own times, such as Sunday at 04:00 or Wednesday at 14:49.
Switching between the two modes is handled in config.json. The interval setting is turned off when the weekly schedule is used, and the schedule setting is turned off when the timer is used. Because the mod only restarts the server, it has no effect on the game for players who are not connected to it.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It is distributed under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric alone and cover Minecraft 1.20.4 only.
Key features
Interval restarts
The server restarts after a set number of seconds, which the owner defines in the config file.
Weekly schedule
Restart times are set as day and clock time pairs, so the server can restart at fixed points each week.
Config-driven switching
A single setting in config.json selects the interval mode or the weekly schedule mode, and the other is turned off.
Restart of the Fabric server
The mod restarts the Fabric server itself, so no manual shutdown is needed at the chosen time.
Compatibility

Who it’s for: Server owners running a Fabric server on Minecraft 1.20.4 who want restarts to happen at fixed times without manual action.
