This batch script great for Minecraft servers which frequently crash – for whatever reason. If you want to learn more about how this script works I would recommend that you look up a batch tutorial online. This script is just a big loop which restarts whenever the server crashes. If you like to use this, just copy and paste it into a batch file (ends with .bat) and make sure that it is in the same directory as your Minecraft server. Also, the “craftbukkit.jar” should be the name of the jar file that you use to run your server.

Happy mining.
