StatusPing

The ultimate lightweight monitoring, optimization, and utility solution for your server.

⚡ Overview

StatusPing is a modern utility plugin designed to keep your staff and players updated on the server's health while providing tools to improve performance. Whether it's optimizing server configurations, scheduling automated restarts with beautiful countdowns, monitoring uptime via status page services, or sending performance alerts to Discord, StatusPing handles it all.

🔥 Key Features

Presets: Includes built-in presets (e.g., example-lobby) or create your own custom presets.
Detailed Reports: Generates text files showing exactly which settings differ from the recommended values.
Safe Application: Automatically backs up your config files before applying any changes.
Safe Gaurds: Doesn't save certain entries in configs like server_ip etc.. or anything sensitive.

📅 Advanced Restart Planning

Forget basic stop commands. Schedule professional restarts with fully customizable countdowns.

Visual Countdowns: Supports BossBars, Action Bars, Titles, and Chat notifications.
Custom Reasons: Tell players why the server is restarting (e.g., "Daily Maintenance" or "Bug Fixes").
Safety: Automatically kicks players with a custom reason right before the actual shutdown.
Schedules: Schedule daily restarts directly within the plugin.

💬 Discord Integration

Keep your staff team and players in the loop without being in-game.

Live Embed Status Panel: Show all your server status' within a simple panel on discord.
Startup & Shutdown Webhooks: Diverse embed messages when the server opens or closes. (Ability to ignore for quick restarts)
MSPT/Lag Alerts: Automatically alerts your admin channel if server performance drops, with customizable thresholds and duration checks to prevent spam.

💓 Heartbeat & Uptime

External Monitoring: Pings a URL (like BetterStack or UptimeRobot) at set intervals to track your uptime percentage accurately.
In-Game Graph: View a visual history of heartbeat success/failures directly in-game.

📊 Performance Stats

View real-time TPS, MSPT, and RAM Usage with a single command.
Includes a "Heartbeat Graph" to see network stability over the last few minutes.

🛠️ Setting up BetterStack

Sign up at https://betterstack.com/
Create a heartbeat
Give it a name and keep the default values for expecting heartbeat and grace period. (The expected heartbeat should match the interval in config.yml)
Copy the url generated, and paste it into the heartbeat section in config.yml
Restart the server and you should have connected it successfully.
Create a free status page with your new heartbeat, if you have multiple servers you can do the same for each.

⚙️ Configuration

The plugin is highly configurable. You can toggle every feature, customize every message using MiniMessage (gradients, hover events, etc.), and tweak Discord embeds.
