MaintenanceMode

MaintenanceMode is a lightweight BungeeCord plugin that restricts player access to your network while the server is undergoing updates, testing, or maintenance. Instead of manually stopping the server or kicking players, the plugin automatically disconnects everyone except those with a specific bypass permission.

When enabled, players attempting to join without the required permission will be disconnected with a customizable kick message (default: “The server is currently in maintenance mode. Please try again later.”). Trusted players or staff with the server.maintenance.bypass permission can still join and test the server during this period.

Key features include:

Automatic access restriction during maintenance mode.

Customizable kick message with full color code support.

Permission-based bypass (server.maintenance.bypass) for staff and testers.

Simple and lightweight – no unnecessary overhead.

Plug-and-play setup with easy YAML configuration.

This plugin is perfect for network owners and administrators who need to lock down their server during updates while still allowing staff or testers to join. With MaintenanceMode, you can ensure smooth server upkeep without unexpected interruptions from regular players.
