Scheduled Shutdown

NOTE: There are two known bugs with this mod: it crashes if loaded on the client, but having it only on the server means command completion doesn't work right.

Make sure players have a warning before an impending server shutdown!

This mod adds a /shutdown and /update command, with 3 subcommands. If no subcommand is specified, it is equivalent to /shutdown slow or /update slow.

These are the subcommands:

• slow: Schedule a shutdown with a 10-minute countdown. Creates empty minecraft.disable file.
• quick: Schedule a shutdown with a 100-second countdown. Creates empty minecraft.disable file.
• cancel: Cancel a scheduled shutdown. Deletes minecraft.disable file if it exists.

The /update variants will additionally create and delete an empty minecraft.needs-update file.

The minecraft.disable and minecraft.needs-update files can be useful for external tools that help manage your Minecraft server.

If all you want is to have a nice countdown, you can just ignore them. :)

I personally use them like this:

• the existence of minecraft.disable will pause auto-restart functionality.
• the existence of minecraft.needs-update will trigger an update of the server modpack.
• my modpack includes Automodpack, so clients get updates when they next reconnect after an update.
