Cron-Based Scheduling: Flexible cron expressions for any schedule: every 6 hours, daily at 4 AM, weekends only, or any custom pattern with timezone support.

Multi-Channel Warnings: Progressive notifications at 30m, 10m, 5m, and 1m via chat, titles, actionbar, and sound effects to prepare players.

Live Final Countdown: Continuous actionbar display with title flashes during the final 10 seconds for clear visual feedback.

Graceful Shutdown Commands: Execute custom commands globally, per-world, or per-player before restart. Run save-all, backups, or cleanup scripts automatically.

BungeeCord/Velocity Sync: Broadcast restart commands to all proxy-connected servers with master/slave exemption for coordinated network restarts.

Manual Restart Controls: Trigger restarts with custom countdown durations, instant restarts, or cancel pending restarts. Full manual control alongside scheduled automation.

Pre-Shutdown Command Hooks: Execute custom commands per-world and per-player before shutdown. Run save-all, kick messages, backup scripts, or cleanup tasks automatically.

Admin GUI: Schedule, cancel or trigger restarts, see the status and change the schedule, timezone, warnings and commands from /restart admin.

Changelog

v1.0.2Latest2026-10-11

Fix cancelling a scheduled restart: the cancelled restart is now skipped instead of happening anyway Fix manual restarts never happening when the final countdown was off, or after config.yml or messages.yml was reloaded Fix scheduled restarts happening without warnings while a manual restart was pending Fix the final countdown showing when turned off and delaying scheduled restarts by 10 seconds Fix warning sounds playing twice, warning titles showing the chat prefix, and the title, actionbar and sound toggles not applying to warnings Fix gradient colours in actionbar messages Fix /restart status showing a next restart after the schedule was turned off Fix proxy sync: messages now go through the BungeeCord channel and are signed with the new proxy-sync.secret, so players can no longer fake them. Set the same secret on every server Online staff on receiving servers are told about incoming syncs, and players see synced restarts and cancels Add the nexalrestarts.admin permission for /restart admin; changing settings in the GUI now needs nexalrestarts.config Admin hub: schedule, cancel or trigger a restart from the GUI Settings screen: edit the cron schedule, timezone and warning intervals, with a Back button and green/red toggles Warning intervals without their own message in messages.yml now use a default warning Remove the deprecated /restart config and /restart admin config commands; use /restart admin New orange colour theme across messages, menus and the help menu Update nexal-core to 1.2.7 Fix /restart admin sync restart and sync cancel not applying to the server they are run on Fix a received schedule being lost on the next restart; it is now saved to config.yml, timezone included Fix turning on a warning interval longer than the time left announcing it straight away /restart admin sync restart now needs at least 5 seconds, like /restart admin in Clicking restart, cancel and sync commands in the help menu now only suggests them Add sounds to the restart scheduled, restart now and restart cancelled messages New messages are added to an existing messages.yml on startup. To get the new sounds on existing messages, rename your messages.yml and let the plugin generate a fresh one Fix the help menu not working on Spigot servers Data is saved safely: a crash, power cut or full disk while saving no longer leaves a broken data file
