Authentication down → Warning

A small Bukkit plugin to warn players when Mojang servers are down.

Warnings

When the authentification or sessions servers become down, a message like this one will be broadcasted.

A similar message will be displayed if the servers are unstable. These messages will be broadcasted every ten minutes (by default) until the servers status change.

 

Manual check

A command is available to see the status of the Mojang services from in-game: /mojangstatus. It contains all the services displayed in the Mojang status page.

The status can also be force-updated using /mojangstatus update. By default, they are updated in the background every 90 seconds.
 

Configuration

The main configuration entries are the following:

# The number of seconds between two checks against the Mojang servers.
check_interval: 90

# The minimal number of seconds between two warning sent to the players for
# the same kind of status.
# Players will always be immediately notified if the status changes.
warning_interval: 600


# Set to true to display a list of the down or unstable services in the
# warning message, like this: http://raw.carrade.eu/s/1450919953.png
display_services_down: false

Another is available to change the status check URI; see the config.yml file.
