Plugin BasicMaintenance

BasicMaintenance, a practical maintenance plugin

BasicMaintenance is a lightweight Bukkit plugin designed to temporarily close a Minecraft server while administrators fix issues, build new features, or perform routine work. When maintenance mode is enabled, regular players are kicked and cannot reconnect until the restriction is removed, helping staff work without interruptions.

The 2.0 release supports Bukkit 1.8 and adds color support, console command access, and customizable kick messages. Its focused design suits administrators who need a straightforward access control tool. At BoxToPlay, we see it as a simple solution for organizing server maintenance periods with minimal impact on management.
