Maintenance

Changes since beta.1:

• Added /maintenance status command on Paper/Sponge to display the current maintenance status as well as any running start or end timers.
• Velocity/Bungee: The existing timer command now displays start and end timers for proxied servers.

This update removes a lot of legacy code, making the code-base a great bit more simple and a lot more performant.

Requirements

• The Paper part now requires at least Paper 1.20.1 and no longer supports Spigot
• The universal jar has been removed. Each platform now has its own jar (that is as small as possible)
• Maintenance now requires at least Java 21

Changed

• Added mode-based maintenance messages for ping-message, player-count-message, and player-list-hover-message
  • You can have different MOTDs depending on the pre-configured mode, e.g. a generic default or one for upcoming-release.
  • Updated proxy/global toggle syntax: /maintenance on [mode]
    • For proxy servers: /maintenance on global [mode], /maintenance on <server> [mode]
  • Other updated commands: /maintenance motd [timer] [mode], /maintenance setmotd [timer] [mode] ..., /maintenance removemotd [timer] [mode] ...
• Added %REASON% variable to MOTD, kick message and player count messages, using the active-reason config option. This allows for dynamic MOTD and other messages via a quick command without modifying the messages themselves
  • Can be changed via the /maintenance setreason <reason> command
• Velocity/Bungee: Replaced mysql section with redis. This is a more suitable database for such reading and sharing of data and no longer means some server pings can take multiple seconds, if you have multiple proxies linked

Fixed

• Velocity/Bungee: Fixed the /maintenance schedule command for single servers having swapped time arguments.
