[RSA] Restart Announcer
With [RSA] Restart Announcer, server owners set a time for the next restart and the mod posts reminders in chat before it happens.
What it does
The mod shows reminder messages in chat before a scheduled server restart. Chat pop-ups appear at 5, 3 and 1 minute before the restart, and at the 5-minute mark a sound plays for everyone so players who are away from chat do not miss it. The mod does not perform the restart itself; it only warns players, so the server owner still stops the server and starts it again.
The announcer is a light Fabric mod for the 1.20.1 build of Minecraft, meant for servers that restart on a schedule. Its purpose is to give players time to finish what they are doing and save their progress before the server goes down, instead of losing it to a sudden restart. It is a server-side only mod, so players join without installing anything, and the server runs it alone. The mod is published for Fabric, with version 2.0.release for 1.20.1 as the latest file, and Fabric API is needed to run it on the server, as with other Fabric mods.
The code is not open source. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so its files are distributed as the author provides them.
Key features
Automatic reminders
Chat pop-ups are sent at 5, 3 and 1 minute before a scheduled restart, without any action from the owner.
Sound alert
At the 5-minute mark a bell-style sound plays for every player on the server, so the warning is heard as well as read.
Custom sound
The sound played with the alert can be changed, so a server can use its own alert tone.
Warnings only
The mod does not stop or restart the server; it sends the messages and leaves the restart to the owner.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
How it compares
AutoReboot is a Fabric server mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License and is open source, so its code can be read and changed. It differs from this mod because it handles the restart itself rather than only announcing it. LAN Announcer is a Fabric server-side only mod for 1.20.4 under the MIT License, open source, so it targets a newer build than this one. Fabdicord is a Fabric server-side mod for 1.18 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved and is not open source, so it covers a far wider range of versions.

What the author says
RestartAnnouncer is a super-light Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that makes sure nobody gets caught off guard by a server reboot. It won’t actually restart anything on its own—it just gives you friendly heads-up messages so you and your friends can save, log off, or finish up before the server goes down. Put an end…
