Configuration

When you first run the plugin, it will automatically create a folder at plugins/ServerRestart/ with a config.yml file inside.

Config Options:

# Countdown duration in seconds (default: 10)
countdown-seconds: 10

# Customize all messages with color codes
messages:
  restart-announcement: "&c&lServer is restarting in {time} seconds!"
  countdown: "&eServer restarting in &c{time} &esecond{s}..."
  restart-now: "&c&lServer is restarting now!"
  restart-cancelled: "&a&lServer restart has been cancelled!"
  # ... and more!

Available placeholders:

• {time} - Shows the countdown time or total seconds
• {s} - Shows 's' for plural or nothing for singular (e.g., "1 second" vs "2 seconds")

Color codes: &a=green, &c=red, &e=yellow, &f=white, &6=gold, &7=gray, &l=bold

After editing the config, reload your server or use a plugin manager to reload the plugin.
