PlaytimeLimiter

PlaytimeLimiter

Limit how long individual players can play on your server each day. Great for kids' servers, family servers, or anyone who wants to keep playtime in check.

Set a limit with one command, and the plugin does the rest: it counts playtime, warns players before their time runs out, kicks them when it's used up, and keeps them from rejoining until the next day.

Features

• Per-player limits: only players you give a limit are tracked; everyone else plays normally
• One simple command: no permission plugin or groups needed
• Warnings in chat before time runs out (15, 10, 5 and 1 minute by default)
• Kick and rejoin block when the daily time is used up
• Bonus time: give a player extra minutes for today only
• Survives restarts: limits and today's usage are saved automatically
• Configurable: reset time, timezone, weekend bonus, warning times and messages

Commands

All commands are for ops and the console. Every player can run /playtime to see their own time left. /pt works as a shortcut.

Permission for the admin commands: playtimelimiter.admin (default: op).

Config

plugins/PlaytimeLimiter/config.yml

reset-time: "00:00"      # when used time goes back to zero (HH:mm)
timezone: ""             # e.g. "Europe/Berlin"; empty = server timezone
weekend-bonus: 0         # extra minutes on Saturday and Sunday
warn-at: [15, 10, 5, 1]  # minutes left at which players are warned
messages:                # MiniMessage format; placeholders <limit>, <left>, <reset>
  kick: "<red>Your daily playtime of <limit> is used up.<newline><gray>Come back after <reset>!"
  warning: "<yellow>You have <gold><left></gold> of playtime left today."
