TimeGate controls your server's opening hours (by default per weekday, with date exceptions), with advance warnings, a maintenance mode and an MOTD that follows the state. Fully configurable with live commands.
In depth
Schedules your way
You set the default opening hours and, if you want, a different schedule for each weekday. You can add date exceptions —holidays, events, a maintenance window— without touching the rest of the calendar.
Warnings and a soft close
Before closing it warns whoever is online, with the minutes you choose. On close it keeps out anyone without permission; admins (or anyone with the bypass permission) can always get in.
Maintenance and MOTD
With one command you force the server open or closed instantly —perfect for maintenance— with an optional message. The server description (MOTD) reflects the state at all times, so it shows up in the server list.
Timezone and live
It works in the timezone you set (IANA format, e.g. Europe/Madrid) and everything is configured with live commands, no restart.
Command guide
Aliases: /tg and /hours. Changing hours needs the timegate.admin permission. The timegate.bypass permission lets a player connect even while the server is closed.
