Highlights

• /restart <time> [reason] with free time input like now, 30s, 5m or 1h30m
• Action bar countdown for all players, also for players who join during the countdown
• Titles at 10, 5 and 1 minute, a title countdown for the last 10 seconds, chat reminders and sounds
• Run the command again during a countdown to update it, or use +5m and -1m to change it

• Automatic restarts at fixed times and weekdays

Good to know

BetterRestarts can only stop the server. Your host, panel or start script has to bring it back up, which most hosts do by default.

The plugin sends anonymous usage statistics to bStats. You can turn them off for all plugins in plugins/bStats/config.yml.
