mcemptyserverstopper's Issues

Could you add support for older minecraft versions?

Cancel Shutdown Command

Let's say I want to keep the server running but I need to leave the game. The server would shut down after the said time in the config. What if there was a command such as /stayon that would keep the server running for even if it became empty? If you wanted to allow it to shutdown normally you could type /stayon 0 which would revert back to normal.

Added configuration

Is it possible to add a configuration file where you can change the duration, in minutes, before the server shuts down after the last player leaves?

Directly release jar, and not archive

Would be nice for automation not having to unzip
I am preparing a PufferPanel template for sleeping server starter. This would allow me to download from your repo directly and not from my fork that has direct jar in release

Timer isn't stopped when a player joins

Title. For example, last player leaves, starting the hour timer. Someone could join right after but the timer would still be running. That player leaves right before the timer is done, then voila, the server is shutdown despite it being inactive for way less than an hour. Having it so the timer is cancelled when someone joins would be better than checking for a player once the timer is done.

Longest possible timer?

This is a question rather than an issue, but I was wondering, what the longest timer would be. Would it be possible to have it shut down after three days for example? Will the timer still be accurate?

Thanks in advance!

support for standard Minecraft servers?

I was wondering if there will ever be support for standard minecraft servers that don't use anything like paper or bukkit, just the download from the official minecraft page.

Plugin not being recognized not loading when i /plugins

other plugins are working even sleeping server is working just not the server stopper im on version 1.16.5 please help ive doing this for 4 hours.

Custom Command

It's not really an issue, but I am wondering if it were possible to add a custom command to call at stop, like a backup command to backup at each shutdown ?
I don't know if this is stupid, let me know anyway. thank you !

Forge version?

There is currently no mod to stop automatically a server if no one is connected.

Fabric & Forge version is archived, does not work on fabric

Not sure if it's functional on Forge still but the whole repository is archived and the Fabric file doesn't work

1.20+ support?

Server stays on when friends forget to join the server.

Can you make the server stopper plugin auto turn off the server even if no one has joined? Sometimes my friends start the server but then go do some other tasks and don't actually join the server. When this happens the server just stays open and the plugin doesnt activate. Can you please add a feature to fix this? Thanks! :)

Still supported?

[Feature] Velocity Support

Hi, first of all I am very thankful for your work on this it works really well and keeps my resources under control :)

I would like to see Velocity support or a velocity version, firstly because i use velocity and because papermc is focusing on velocity and I think it will be the future of Minecraft Proxy’s

I would try to implement it myself but mostly I do not find the time to work on this parallel to my work, family, home lab

bungeecord support

please add bungeecord (waterfall) support

1.17.1 support?

Will you be updating this for 1.17.1?

Bug: Timer not starting without joining

If I start my Paper server, but nobody joins it, the timer is not started. I would expect the server to stop automatically, even without someone needing to join.
Maybe you could start the timer on plugin activation/server start.

Shutdown after player leaves

Hi, When a player from my server logs of the server shuts down. How can I make it so that goes back to sleep?

Pterodactyl Issue

If you use this plugin on pterodactyl when it attempts to shutdown the server pterodactyl will just restart the server.

EmpyWorldStopper

Would it be possible to do something like this, but for worlds? When no one is in a given world for X minutes, execute the command . I've been looking for such a plugin for a long time, but I can't find it. :(
