SeasonManager

The Modern Standard for Server Lifecycles

SeasonManager is a powerful server lifecycle engine designed to automate the progression of your Minecraft server. It replaces manual scheduling with a robust, autonomous system that handles season transitions, gameplay phases, and visual announcements.

⚡ What does this project do?

SeasonManager adds a comprehensive Season & Phase system to your server. It allows you to:

• Automate Transitions: Define season lengths (e.g., 30 days) and let the plugin handle the end-of-season events automatically.
• Configure Gameplay Phases: Create distinct phases within a season (e.g., a "Grace Period" for the first 24 hours, followed by an "Active Season").
• Dynamic Rules: Automatically enable/disable PvP or player damage based on the current active phase.
• Visual Feedback: Keep players informed with high-quality BossBars, ActionBars, and Titles that countdown to major events.
• Command Execution: Run specific console commands automatically when seasons start or end.

💎 Why should you download it?

If you run an SMP, Lifesteal, or Factions server, managing "wipes" and "seasons" is often a manual, error-prone task. SeasonManager provides:

• Peak Performance: Built with a Folia-Native architecture, meaning it is designed for modern, multi-threaded servers. It runs flawlessly on Paper and its forks with zero main-thread impact.
• Premium Presentation: Out of the box, the plugin uses modern MiniMessage gradients and icons to give your server a professional, "industrial-grade" feel.
• Set-and-Forget: Once configured, the plugin handles everything from warnings to state transitions, allowing server owners to focus on community rather than management.

⚠️ Critical Information

• Compatibility: Requires Minecraft 1.21 or higher.
• Software: Supported on Paper, Folia, and Purpur.
• Dependencies: No external plugins are required for core functionality. It includes optional support for PlaceholderAPI.
