Schedules – Server Automation

General Information

Schedule is a function for automatically running tasks on your Minecraft server – such as backups, restarts, commands, and other actions. Thanks to it, you can:

  • secure your data (backups),
  • reduce server load (automatic restarts),
  • plan actions when you are away from the computer.

Tasks are created from the server management panel – in the Schedule tab.
