Restart Command Script

This script can be used to run the server once, i.e. if you configured Auto Restart to not use an external restart script.
You configure "restart_command" as the script with the path, where your start-script is located, i.e "<Path of your Minecraft server>\\<Name of your script>.cmd" (All "\" have to be "\\")

cd "<Path of your Minecraft server>"
start java -jar forge-<Minecraft version>-<Forge version>.jar

External Restart Script

These scripts are for the use, if you have configured, that you are using an external restart script.
The first script is named "restart_start.cmd". It is used to start the "restart_loop.cmd" script in a screen.

cd "<Path of your Minecraft server>"
start .\restart_loop.cmd

The "restart_loop.sh" script has the logic in it, to restart or stop the server. It will restart the server always, except in the "./auto_restart/restart" file is "0".
The Auto Restart Mod writes "-1", "0" or "1" to the file. When the script reads the file,

  • "-1" means that server crashed.
  • "0" means the server was shutdown with the "/stop" command and should be stopped.
  • "1" means the server that the server was stopped with the "/restart" command or an auto restart and should be restarted.

After the server was stopped for a restart, the script waits 5 seconds until it restarts the Minecraft server.

echo OFF
:start
    java -Xmx<Amount of RAM in gigatytes you want to allocate to Minecraft>G -jar forge-<Minecraft version>-<Forge version>.jar
    SET /p should_restart=<./auto_restart/restart
    if %should_restart% EQU 0 goto stop
    echo If you want to stop the server completely, press STRG-C, \before the countdown is at 1!
    echo Rebooting in:
    timeout /T 5 /nobreak
    echo 'Server restarts!'
    goto start
:stop
