Maintenance Mode
Lock the server to staff with bypass permission.
While maintenance is on, players without bypass are kicked at login with a configurable screen. Staff with muteessentials.maintenance.bypass (and operators) can still join.
Configuration
The state is toggled at runtime with /maintenance, stored under the Maintenance section:
The kick screen is configured in messages-*.yml under Maintenance.KickMessage and supports %DISCORD%.
Maintenance does not change the server-list ping MOTD - it only gates logins. The Server List MOTD keeps showing its normal lines.
