Simple Server Restart
by ruin9999
Simple Server Restart lets server owners schedule automatic restarts of a Fabric server, and it is installed on the server alone.
What it does
A lightweight plugin that triggers restarts of the server at times set by the owner, so the server returns on a fixed routine without manual intervention. Only the server needs the mod; players join without installing anything, and the Fabric API is required beside it.
The mod is published for Fabric alone, with builds for 1.21.5 and 1.21.11 and the latest file, 0.2.3, dated 2026-02-05. Its source code is public and the code is under the MIT License, so it is open source. The author says support for Quilt and Forge is planned, but no such builds are listed yet.
Key features
Scheduled restarts
Server restarts run on a timed schedule, so the server resets at the moments the owner chooses.
Server-only install
It changes nothing on the client side, and clients join without any copy of the mod.
Small footprint
The plugin is lightweight and does one job: restarting the server on schedule.
