Description

RedstoneReboot
A restart engine for Minecraft servers across every major platform
Features

RedstoneReboot manages automated restarts, performance monitoring, and backend process integration across single servers and server networks.
- Scheduling — Multiple daily restart times with timezone support and day-of-week filters
- Health Checks — Real-time TPS and memory tracking with consecutive checks to prevent false triggers
- Emergency Restarts — Triggers restarts if TPS drops or memory usage exceeds safety limits
- Notifications — Countdown alerts via chat, titles, action bar, and sounds
- Backend Handoff — Delegates process restarts to Pterodactyl API, systemd, Docker, or custom scripts
- Hot Reload — Apply backend configuration changes using
/reboot reload - PlaceholderAPI — 8 placeholders for scoreboards, tab lists, and MOTD plugins (Bukkit/Folia)
Backend System & Startup Loops
RedstoneReboot separates "when to restart" from "how to restart":
- DEPEND_ON_HOST — Clean shutdown (your panel, Docker policy, or script restarts the process)
- LOCALSCRIPT — Auto-generated shell script handles process restarts
- SYSTEMD — System service integration on Linux
- DOCKER — Container restart policy integration
- PTERODACTYL — Direct panel API power actions
Do I need a custom backend?
If your server runs inside a loop script, Docker container with restart: always, or systemd service, DEPEND_ON_HOST works out of the box. When the countdown ends, the engine shuts down the server cleanly and your supervisor starts it again.
Why configure a custom backend?
- API Integration (Pterodactyl / panels): Triggers power cycles directly through panel APIs to avoid false offline status indicators.
- Auto Startup Scripts: LOCALSCRIPT generates and manages process wrappers for standalone VPS setups.
- Safety Lockouts: Enforces cooldown lockouts to prevent rapid crash loops if server files are corrupt.
