RedstoneReboot

A restart engine for Minecraft servers across every major platform

Features

RedstoneReboot 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.
