Install on the server only; players don't need it


Maintenance Mode is a small server side utility that allows you to place your server in Maintenance mode. During this time, only players you choose will be able to access your server, and everyone else will be disconnected.
This utility is aimed at server owners to allow them to perform config changes, test new mods or configure new server features, without people randomly joining, or having to de-whitelist everyone (if you use whitelisting).

- Keeping people out of your server during maintenance/updates, except those allowed
- Scheduling when Maintenance should start and end
- Custom server icon/motd while in maintenance mode
- Customizable kick message during maintenance mode
- Support for MiniMessage formatting in MOTD and Kick messages
- Support for Minecraft Formatting in MOTD and Kick messages
- Support for LuckPerms
- Full server backup (Make a full backup of your server including configs, mods, settings and more)


You are allowed to include this mod in your modpack, BUT, all downloads have to go through our offical Modrinth and Curseforge pages. You are not allowed to re-upload the mod to any other sites.
You are free to clone the code and distribute the mod as your own, but I ask that you please change the name, and you are not allowed to use any of our official docs/resources, as those are licensed under ARR.
