Scheduler

A minecraft plugin that runs console commands on cron schedules.

Configuration

schedules:

  my-schedule:
    cron: "*/10 * * * *"   # every 10 minutes
    parallel: false         # run commands one after another
    commands:
      - "save-all flush"
      - "broadcast Server saved!"

  another-schedule:
    enabled: false          # set to true to activate
    cron: "0 2 * * *"      # every day at 02:00
    parallel: true          # run all commands at the same time
    commands:
      - "broadcast Nightly task running"
      - "say Hello from cron"

Schedule fields

Cron syntax

Five space-separated fields: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week

Examples

Parallel vs sequential

• parallel: true — all commands are dispatched in the same server tick.
• parallel: false — commands are dispatched one per tick in order, so each command's synchronous side-effects complete before the next one starts.

Commands

All commands require the cronscheduler.admin permission (default: op).
