AutoServerUpdaterX

🚀 AutoServerUpdaterX

Keep your server running on the latest security and performance patches without lifting a finger.

This project is a fork of the original fork, specifically updated to maintain compatibility with modern server infrastructures and the latest API standards.

I recommend using AutoUpdatePlugins if you want your plugins to be updated automatically as well!

🔄 Why this fork?

The original plugin broke after PaperMC migrated their download service from Bibliothek (v2) to Fill (v3) and deprecated legacy endpoints. This fork resolves those connection issues and introduces more robust build-tracking logic.

✨ Key Features

* User-Agent Compliance: Fully compatible with the new PaperMC Fill download service. * User-Agent Compliance: Scans all available API metadata to identify the highest build ID, ensuring accuracy even for Alpha and Experimental releases. * User-Agent Compliance: Choose between a Spigot-native `RESTART` or a clean `STOP` (perfect for Docker or Pterodactyl users). * User-Agent Compliance: Implements mandatory identity headers to comply with PaperMC's latest infrastructure requirements.

📦 Supported Software

* Paper * Purpur * Leaf

🛠 Configuration

The plugin creates a `config.yml` on the first run. You can customize the behavior after a download: ```yaml

Options:

RESTART - Uses Spigot's restart command (default).

STOP - Safely shuts down the server. Recommended for loop scripts.

update-action: RESTART ```

⚠️ Disclaimer

> [!DANGER] > Using auto-updaters in production environments is at your own risk. This plugin overwrites your active server JAR. Always ensure you have regular backups configured before enabling automated updates.

highly recommended If you are using a startup loop (e.g., `while true; do java...; done`), it is highly recommended to set `update-action` to `STOP`.

Using `RESTART` in combination with a shell loop often triggers a new server instance before the old one has fully terminated. This can lead to: * Zombie processes errors (Port already in use). * Zombie processes errors (World already in use). * Zombie processes (Multiple instances running simultaneously).

---

Note: If no restart script or loop is configured on your host, the server will shut down to apply the update but will not automatically start back up.
