Automating routine tasks helps you manage your server more efficiently. Here’s a guide to useful plugins that streamline server management:
Automatic Backups:
- Backup Plugins: Use plugins like AutoSaveWorld to create regular backups without manual intervention. Set up backups hourly, daily, or weekly based on your server’s activity.
Scheduled Restarts:
- Restart Plugins: Scheduled restarts can clear up memory and improve performance. Plugins like AdvancedRestart let you set daily restarts to keep your server running smoothly.
Auto-Ranking and Rewards:
- RankUp: Automatically promote players based on playtime, encouraging them to stay active.
- Reward Plugins: Plugins like Votifier reward players for voting, increasing server visibility and player loyalty.
Clearing Entities:
- AutoClear: Set up automated entity clearing to remove excess mobs and dropped items that can cause lag.
Automating these tasks allows you to focus on improving player experience rather than spending time on server upkeep.
