Context

The family Minecraft server (PaperMC 26.1.2) runs on PVE LXC 106 at 192.168.1.243, managed by Crafty Controller at https://192.168.1.243:8443. Since we only play a few times a week, leaving the server running 24/7 is unnecessary.

Goal

Install a PaperMC idle shutdown plugin that automatically stops the server after X minutes with no players online. Starting the server back up can be done manually via the Crafty web UI.

Options to evaluate

  • AutoStop or similar PaperMC plugin that monitors player count and shuts down gracefully after idle timeout
  • Configure timeout duration (suggest 10-15 minutes with no players)
  • Ensure Crafty registers the shutdown cleanly (does not restart the server automatically)

Notes

  • Server is Crafty-managed � verify the plugin shutdown interacts correctly with Crafty's process monitoring
  • Crafty should NOT auto-restart after an idle shutdown (check restart policy in Config tab)
  • Plugin JARs go in the plugins/ folder inside the server working directory: /opt/crafty-controller/crafty/crafty-4/servers/<uuid>/plugins/
