Shutdown Scheduler
by Ciobert
Shutdown Scheduler stops a Minecraft server at times set in its configuration, and can run commands before the stop.
What it does
A server owner sets the times at which the server shuts down, and the mod carries out each shutdown automatically without manual input. Commands can be run ahead of the stop, which lets an operator send a warning or save state first. Console logging records each scheduled action as it happens, so the timeline of events can be checked afterwards.
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. Builds exist for Fabric and NeoForge, and the Fabric build depends on Fabric API being present on the server. The mod targets Fabric Loader 0.17.2 and later on Minecraft 1.21.1, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Public source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project.
Key features
Scheduled shutdowns
The server stops automatically at the times set by the owner, without anyone needing to be online to trigger it.
Commands before shutdown
Commands can run before the server stops, for example to announce the restart or save the world.
Console logging
Every monitored action is written to the console, so the shutdown history is visible in the server log.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Scheduled maintenance windows
A server with regular restart times can shut down on a fixed timetable, with commands run beforehand to warn players.
Unattended hosting
A server that runs without an operator present can stop at set times, so it does not stay up indefinitely.
Who it’s for: Server owners and hosts who want the server to stop at set times on Minecraft 1.21.1, with Fabric or NeoForge.
