Automatic Minecraft Server Restarts with World Saving

Why Are Automatic Restarts Needed?

We often receive support requests asking: “How do I set up automatic Minecraft server restarts?” We listen to our clients, and that’s why we’ve prepared this tutorial for you.

Important: Regularly restarting your Minecraft server is necessary to avoid excessive load and RAM overflow.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open the Task Scheduler

Go to the “Schedules” tab in the hosting control panel at panel.qwer-host.xyz and create a new schedule.

2. Create a Schedule

Choose a name for the schedule and configure the execution time. The schedule in the screenshot below will run at 4:00 AM.

3. Add a Notification Task (Optional)

If you want to notify players before the restart, create a notification task.

Click on “New Task”:

Configure the task to send a chat message:

4. Create a Server Restart Task

Create a task for the actual server restart. Select the “Restart Server” action.

5. Done!

Now the server will automatically restart every day at 04:00 (or at the time you configured).

Additional Recommendations

• Choose a restart time when the server has minimal players (usually nighttime hours).
• Use a notification task 5-10 minutes before the restart so players have time to prepare.
• Regular restarts (1-2 times per day) help maintain stable server performance and avoid lag.
