Server Maintenance
Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.11 · Paper / Spigot · EN / RU
Server Maintenance is a lightweight plugin that lets you put your server into a password-protected maintenance mode. Perfect for private testing, technical works, or access control — only players who know the password can get in.
Players who join a locked server are fully restricted: blindness, no movement, chat, inventory or commands, and other players and scoreboards are hidden. After entering the correct password, everything is restored instantly with a nice unlock effect.
Features
- Maintenance mode — lock the server with a password; testers join via
/password. - Full lock mode — access completely disabled, even with the password — only
servermaintenance.bypassworks. - Kick reason on full lock —
/maintenance full "Planned update"kicks players with your message. - Anti brute-force — 3 minutes to enter the password; 3 wrong attempts = 15-minute entry ban.
- Admin unban —
/maintenance unban <player>works for offline players too. - Full restrictions — blindness, freeze, chat/inventory/command blocking, player and scoreboard hiding.
- Bilingual — English and Russian, switchable in config. English by default.
- Configurable — every message and every effect is editable in
config.yml.
