⚡ BungeeSTOP

BungeeSTOP is a lightweight, essential plugin for BungeeCord proxy networks. It provides server administrators and the console with a clean, safe way to stop or restart the proxy server.

Instead of force-closing your proxy and leaving players with ugly "Timed out" or "Connection reset" errors, BungeeSTOP safely kicks all connected players with a customizable, formatted message before shutting down the instance.

✨ Features

Clean Disconnects: Safely kicks all online players before the proxy goes offline.

Custom Reasons: Specify why the network is going down so your players aren't left guessing.

Lightweight: Minimal code footprint with zero impact on proxy performance.

Console & In-Game: Can be run from the proxy console or in-game by administrators.

🛠️ Commands & Usage

All commands accept an optional reason. If no reason is provided, a default one is used.

/stop [reason] Safely disconnects all players and shuts down the proxy.

Alias: /end

Example: /stop The network is going down for scheduled maintenance!

/restart [reason] Safely disconnects players with a restart message and shuts down the proxy.

Example: /restart Restarting to apply updates. Be right back!

⚠️ Important note about /restart: BungeeCord does not have a native way to restart its own Java process. The /restart command will safely stop the proxy. To bring the proxy back online automatically, you must ensure your server uses an auto-restart loop script (like a start.sh or start.bat that automatically restarts the .jar when it closes).

🔒 Permissions

bungeestop.admin — Grants access to the /stop, /end, and /restart commands. (The proxy console has permission by default).

📦 Installation

Download the latest BungeeSTOP.jar file.

Place the file inside your BungeeCord /plugins folder.

Restart your proxy. You're good to go!
