Description

Enhancement Type

A completely new feature

Describe the enhancement

It would be great to have some options for the server to automatically restart itself under configurable conditions: i.e. no users connected in the last X minutes (similar to the autopause condition), last started more than Y hours ago, only inside a certain time window, etc. When combined with SPIGET_RESOURCES this would also facilitate easier automatic updating of highly version-sensitive plugins such as Geyser, ViaVersion, or ViaBackwards.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing autopause system, identify configurable conditions (idle time, uptime, time windows), and integrate a restart trigger that respects those conditions. Ensure compatibility with SPIGET RESOURCES for automatic plugin updates.
