Metro Manager
by WiselyWisp
Metro Manager lets server operators limit when specific players are allowed to join a server, using a managed access list with assigned time windows.
What it does
Operators add players to a managed access list and give each one a specific time window. Players on the list can only get into the server during their allowed hours, and the schedule is enforced automatically without manual checks. The mod is a server utility, so it needs no installation on the player side.
Use cases include family-managed servers with set playtimes, community servers with scheduled access, and testing environments that have restricted login hours. It is also useful for event sessions and staff testing periods where access should be confined to a fixed block of time. Metro Manager is published for NeoForge only, with a single game version, 1.21.1, and the 1.0.0 file dated 2026-04-23. It is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
Key features
Managed access list
Operators choose which players may join and keep that list on the server.
Time windows per player
Each listed player is assigned a window of allowed hours, and access outside it is refused.
Scheduled playtimes
Recurring or one-off schedules can cover family playtimes, events and staff testing periods.
Server-only setup
Only the server runs the mod, so players join without installing anything extra.

Who it’s for: Server owners and operators who need to limit login hours for particular players, including families, community hosts and teams running testing environments.
How it compares

World Switcher is a server-side only NeoForge mod for 1.21 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License and is open source, so it covers a wider version span than this mod on its own terms.
