# SeasonManager
\n### The Modern Standard for Server Lifecycles<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \u26a1 What does this project do?
\nSeasonManager adds a comprehensive **Season & Phase system** to your server. It allows you to:
\n* **Automate Transitions**: Define season lengths (e.g., 30 days) and let the plugin handle the end-of-season events automatically.
\n* **Configure Gameplay Phases**: Create distinct phases within a season (e.g., a “Grace Period” for the first 24 hours, followed by an “Active Season”).
\n* **Dynamic Rules**: Automatically enable\/disable PvP or player damage based on the current active phase.
\n* **Visual Feedback**: Keep players informed with high-quality **BossBars**, **ActionBars**, and **Titles** that countdown to major events.
\n* **Command Execution**: Run specific console commands automatically when seasons start or end.<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udc8e Why should you download it?
\nIf you run an SMP, Lifesteal, or Factions server, managing “wipes” and “seasons” is often a manual, error-prone task. SeasonManager provides:
\n* **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.
\n* **Premium Presentation**: Out of the box, the plugin uses modern MiniMessage gradients and icons to give your server a professional, “industrial-grade” feel.
\n* **Set-and-Forget**: Once configured, the plugin handles everything from warnings to state transitions, allowing server owners to focus on community rather than management.<\/p>\n
## \u26a0\ufe0f Critical Information
\n* **Compatibility**: Requires **Minecraft 1.21 or higher**.
\n* **Software**: Supported on **Paper, Folia, and Purpur**.
\n* **Dependencies**: No external plugins are required for core functionality. It includes optional support for **PlaceholderAPI**.<\/p>\n
