Classic Restart
by Jorik_Smith
Classic Restart lets server operators schedule a restart by command or set a daily automatic restart time for a Fabric server.
What it does
Operators can start a restart with a timer from 3 to 3600 seconds, cancel a pending restart, or reload the configuration without stopping the server. A daily automatic restart runs at a set time written as HH.mm, such as 06.30, and the mod includes protection against restart loops so the server does not restart repeatedly. Warning messages are sent to players at timings the operator chooses, with optional sound alerts whose volume and pitch can be adjusted. Players who are still connected when the restart happens receive a custom kick message.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything and only the server needs it. Its messages, timings and sounds are set in JSON files, and its commands are limited to operators. Classic Restart is released under the MIT License, and the code is not open source in the sense of a public repository listing, so the license terms are the only restriction. Files are published for Fabric only, across seven game versions, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.10 as the latest file, released on 2025-11-15.
