♻️ Server Restarts
Root commands: /restart
Worlds: All Servers
Access Level: Helper / Admin
Restarts, maintenance modes, and emergency protocols are executed per-server or sync-wide using the following commands.
Scheduled Restarts
It is preferred to give players advanced notice. Use one of the delayed restart commands to send automated chat warnings:
- Two Minute Advance:
/restart2m - Five Minute Advance:
/restart5m - Ten Minute Advance:
/restart10m - Thirty Minute Advance:
/restart30m - One Hour Advance:
/restart60m - Cancel Scheduled Restart:
/cancelrestart(instantly aborts any pending scheduled restarts)
Instant Restarts & Shutdowns
- Instant Restart: Stops and immediately restarts the current server:
/restart - Send Announcement Only: Broadcasts a restart warning without triggering the actual restart (useful if you intend to do a custom manual restart shortly):
/restartbc - Instant Shutdown: stops the server immediately without a restart:
/shutdown
Maintenance Mode
To set the current server into maintenance mode (which automatically locks/whitelists the server):
/maintenance
Post-Restart Verification
After a server restart, check if all plugins loaded correctly. Unloaded plugins after restarts are the usual cause of broken features:
- List Plugins:
/plugman list
Green plugins are loaded and running; red plugins failed to load.
Emergency Shutdown Protocol
If the server suffers a critical database compromise, security threat, or severe exploit, Helpers and higher can initiate a network-wide lockdown:
/emergency
[!CAUTION]
This command will instantly whitelist and stop ALL servers connected to the redis sync network, logging the incident toemergency.logand alerting administrators.
To prevent accidental triggers, this command requires two-step confirmation (you must run/emergencya second time within 10 seconds to confirm).
