## About This Plugin **This plugin lets you activate a maintenance mode on your Paper, Velocity, Bungee, and Sponge server, which will prevent players without a permission to join the server.** ![https://i.imgur.com/kjrgLUm.png](https://i.imgur.com/kjrgLUm.png) **This plugin uses MiniMessage as the component text format.** **LEGACY TEXT FORMATTING (§a/&a) IS NOT SUPPORTED** * Use [https://webui.adventure.kyori.net/](https://webui.adventure.kyori.net/) to preview parsed components * You can find full documentation on the format (including normal colors and formatting, rgb, click/hover events, and more) here: [https://docs.adventure.kyori.net/minimessage/format](https://docs.adventure.kyori.net/minimessage/format) Its features include: * A **custom motd** as well as **server icon**, that will be shown during maintenance * **Start- and endtimers**, which will **enable/disable maintenance mode after the time is up** * **Schedule timers,** which will enable maintenance, then disable it after a given amount of time * A '%TIMER%' variable usable in the pingmessage, to show the time until a running endtimer finishes *(other variables and tricks are explained in the configuration file's comments)* * A **maintenance whitelist**, to grant specific players the ability to join while you're working on your server * Notifications when players try to join your server during maintenance * Nearly all **messages are editable** via the language file, given in a multitude of different languages **Additional features on Velocity/Bungee:** * Only want to enable **maintenance on a single server**? You can also do so by using the `/maintenance ` command * Link **multiple proxy instances with a MySQL database** connection, so you don't have to enable/disable maintenance on each proxy by hand * **Waiting servers** during full proxy maintenance, as well as **fallback servers** to go to when a single proxied server is under maintenance * **Using ServerListPlus**? Maintenance will toggle its status when enabling maintenance and reenable the SLP motd when disabling maintenance * Want to have PlaceholderAPI placeholders on Paper? See **[here](https://github.com/kennytv/maintenance/wiki/maintenanceaddon)** for more information on the MaintenanceAddon. *Want to know a secret?* You can have text **left of the server icon** by just adding a lot of spaces to the playercountmessage, like so: ```yaml playercountmessage: "Maintenance AAAA" ``` ![https://i.imgur.com/0lh0Hwv.png](https://i.imgur.com/0lh0Hwv.png) IMPORTANT: If using the plugin on a Paper server, the plugin **[ProtocolLib](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/protocollib.1997/)** is required to use Maintenance to its full extend. ## Issues/Support Did you find a bug?

After the time is up, it'll be disabled again * **/maintenance schedule [server] ** will enable maintenance mode after the given time, then disable it according to the second parameter * **/maintenance aborttimer** cancels a running start-/endtimer * **/maintenance setmotd <1/2> ** sets a motd for maintenance mode * **/maintenance motd** lists the currently set maintenance motds * **/maintenance update** remotely downloads the newest version of the plugin onto your server * **/maintenance dump** dumps some server information, used for bug reports ## Permissions * **maintenance.admin** - super permission, that grants access to all perms below * **maintenance.bypass** - join the server during maintenance * **maintenance.command** - use the "/maintenance" command (also required to use the subcommands) * **maintenance.toggle** - use the "/maintenance " commands * **maintenance.reload** - use the "/maintenance reload" command * **maintenance.update** - use the "/maintenance " commands * **maintenance.timer** - use the "/maintenance " and "/maintenance timer abort" commands * **maintenance.whitelist.add** - use the "/maintenance add " command * **maintenance.whitelist.remove** - use the "/maintenance remove " command * **maintenance.whitelist.list** - use the "/maintenance whitelist" command * **maintenance.setmotd** - use the "/maintenance setmotd <1/2> " command * **maintenance.motd** - use the "/maintenance motd" command * **maintenance.dump** - use the "/maintenance dump" command * **maintenance.joinnotification** - if enabled: sends a notification to you if a player tries to join the server while maintenance is enabled Extra permissions for the Velocity/Bungee part: * **maintenance.singleserver.bypass.******** - join the proxied server during maintenance * **maintenance.singleserver.toggle** - use the "/maintenance " commands * **maintenance.singleserver.timer** - use the "/maintenance " and "/maintenance timer abort " commands * **maintenance.singleserver.status** - use the "/maintenance status" command IMPORTANT - If you are using the plugin on your proxyserver: You have to have these permissions on the proxy, not on the backend servers! The best way of doing this is using a proper permissions plugin on the proxy (for example LuckPerms). ## Configuration If you are using *the Paper version of the plugin*, you have to have [**ProtocolLib**](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/protocollib.1997/) installed to use the custom server-icon and the playercount-messages (that, or you have Paper running on 1.12.2 or higher)! The rest however is also accessible without it. For the Velocity/Bungee version you don't need to have any other plugins installed. *proxied-maintenance-servers*, *fallback* and *mysql* section are only for the Velocity/Bungee version. ```yaml # Enables maintenance mode. maintenance-enabled: false # Enables maintenance on certain servers managed by your proxy instance(s). proxied-maintenance-servers: - PaperServer1 # - AnotherServer # If maintenance is enabled on a proxied server with players on it, they will be sent to the fallback server instead of being kicked off the network. # If the fallback server is not reachable/not set, they will just be kicked off the network. # This can also be set to an array to set multiple fallback servers, in case one server is not always reachable: 'fallback: [s1, s2, s3, ...]' fallback: lobby # If maintenance is enabled globally, you can define a "waiting" lobby for players to be sent to instead of being kicked. # Leave this empty to disable. waiting-server: "" # The message shown in the multiplayer server list motd when maintenance is enabled. # If you put in multiple entries, one of them will be chosen randomly on every ping. # If running an endtimer, the time left can be displayed by including '%TIMER%' in a pingmessage (also works in playercount(-hover) message). pingmessages: - "Currently under maintenance

If you enable maintenance, the ServerListPlus motd will be disabled and then reenabled, when you disable maintenance to prevent any issues with them overriding each other. ## MySQL/Multi-Proxy Support *Only available in the Bungee/Velocity version!* By enabling MySQL in the config, you can even connect multiple proxy-servers to a set value in your database, so you won't have to enable/disable maintenance on each proxy by hand! I want to give a small thank you to the people translating messages - you're awesome!
