Installation
Requirements
- Velocity 3.4.0 or higher
- Java 21 or higher
Steps
1. Download
Download the AutoStartStop JAR from one of the available platforms:
2. Install
To install AutoStartStop, place the JAR file in your Velocity server’s plugins/ folder and restart Velocity if it is already running:
velocity/
└── plugins/
└── AutoStartStop-<version>.jar
On first run, the plugin will create its default configuration file:
velocity/
└── plugins/
└── autostartstop/
└── config.yml
3. Verify
You can verify the installation by checking the console for the following message:
AutoStartStop enabled successfully
No success message?
If you don't see the message, confirm the plugin JAR is in plugins/, restart Velocity, and check the console for any AutoStartStop-related errors during startup.
