Use `\/cronwhitelist <active_time> <inactive_time>` to set your schedule (e.g., `\/cronwhitelist 14:00 22:00`).<br \/>\n2. The plugin automatically starts the cronjob and begins monitoring.<br \/>\n3. At the specified times, the whitelist will be enabled or disabled automatically.<br \/>\n4. Operators are protected and will never be kicked when whitelist activates.<br \/>\n5. Non-whitelisted players are automatically kicked when whitelist becomes active.<\/p>\n<p>## \ud83d\udd17 Time Management System<\/p>\n<p>CronWhiteList includes intelligent time handling for various scenarios:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **Standard Day Schedule**: e.g., 09:00 to 17:00 (whitelist active during day)<br \/>\n&#8211; **Night Schedule**: e.g., 22:00 to 06:00 (whitelist active during night, spans midnight)<br \/>\n&#8211; **Automatic Adjustment**: Input times are reduced by 1 minute (11:30 becomes 11:29)<br \/>\n&#8211; **Persistent State**: Configuration survives server restarts and maintains schedule<br \/>\n&#8211; **Real-time Monitoring**: Checks every 60 seconds and applies changes immediately<\/p>\n<p>## \ud83d\udca1 Use Cases<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Restrict server access to specific hours (e.g., maintenance windows).<br \/>\n&#8211; Create &#8220;members-only&#8221; hours during peak times.<br \/>\n&#8211; Automatically manage whitelist for events or scheduled activities.<br \/>\n&#8211; Protect server resources during off-hours while allowing trusted players.<\/p>\n<p>## \ud83d\udcdd Technical &#038; Legal<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; **License:** GPL-3.0-only (see LICENSE)<br \/>\n&#8211; **Author:** MrH00k<br \/>\n&#8211; **Database:** Uses SQLite for persistent schedule storage.<br \/>\n&#8211; **No suppression of static analysis warnings:** All warnings remain visible for maintainability.<br \/>\n&#8211; **No external dependencies required**.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>**Take control of your server access \u2014 with CronWhiteList!**<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CronWhiteList is a Minecraft plugin that automates server whitelist management through time-based scheduling, allowing administrators to set specific hours when the whitelist should be active or inactive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":51390,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"cronwhitelist","_minecraft_project_id":"lHp3vUxu","_minecraft_author":"FirewallSH","_minecraft_license":"GPL-3.0-only","_minecraft_downloads":45,"_minecraft_follows":0,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"cronwhitelist.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":12636433,"_minecraft_version_count":1,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T21:22:34.651413Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-06-29T01:42:47.973845Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-06-20T18:38:00.157719Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/cronwhitelist","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":51390,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-02T19:25:20+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"2aacec7ef2f58b9bcd836947e05f0b03","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[126,90,127,128,129,92],"mod_loader":[132,133,134],"minecraft_version":[62,37,73,74,38,78,79],"class_list":["post-51389","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-management","mod_category-optimization","mod_category-paper","mod_category-purpur","mod_category-spigot","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-paper","mod_loader-purpur","mod_loader-spigot","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
