Lockdown is a lightweight Minecraft server plugin that places a Bukkit or Spigot server in a secure restricted mode. Designed for maintenance, emergency protection, or raid prevention, it can immediately remove players who lack the required permission and prevent them from joining again while the mode remains active.
Administrators control the feature with simple enable and disable commands. The lockdown.admin permission grants access, while lockdown.bypass lets trusted staff remain connected or return during maintenance. The setting persists after a restart, and multilingual support helps teams present clear messages. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for fast, controlled server maintenance without shutting the server down.
