Update: with help from Strahan202 and more internet digging, i have now improved the script!
So i did a little diging and with help from the interwebs, and thanks to a post on reddit, (I found a script and edited it so it would work for the server, credit to the reddit user) i have now created a way to restart your servers without plugins or mods!
It works for vanilla, bukkit and spigot! any type of server runing on windows!
Here is what a normal start up script looks like for a vanilla server:
@echo off java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui. pause
Just add :START to the beginning of the script then add this to the bottom of your script.
echo Type a to restart or d to exit. choice /c abcd /n if %errorlevel%==1 echo Restarting server. if %errorlevel%==2 goto :CONTINUE if %errorlevel%==3 echo Exiting. if %errorlevel%==4 goto :EXIT :CONTINUE TIMEOUT /t 3 /NOBREAK cls goto :START :EXIT TIMEOUT /t 3 /NOBREAK exit
Now our example start up script looks like:
:START @echo off java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui. pause echo Type a to restart or d to exit. choice /c abcd /n if %errorlevel%==1 echo Restarting server. if %errorlevel%==2 goto :CONTINUE if %errorlevel%==3 echo Exiting. if %errorlevel%==4 goto :EXIT :CONTINUE TIMEOUT /t 3 /NOBREAK cls goto :START :EXIT TIMEOUT /t 3 /NOBREAK exit
Now once you type /stop and shut off your server, it will tell you «Type a to restart or d to exit.», Then just do what the text tells you! If you want to restart press the A Key, if you want to exit press the D key and it will close the console!
Hope this helps! if you need any help with it just let me know!

Setting up a Minecraft Forge server
This page will teach the player how to install a Forge server.
Contents
1.6 to 1.16.5 [ ]
Text version [ ]
Firstly, you need the Forge installer, which can be downloaded from the official Forge download page. Once downloaded, launch it and choose option «Install server». If you’re installing Forge on a headless server with no graphical interface, run the following command in the directory where you downloaded the jar installer (replace «x.xx.x» with the correct version number for the installer you downloaded):
java -jar forge-x.xx.x-installer.jar --installServer
If you get an error about «Downloading Minecraft server failed, invalid e-tag checksum.», you will need to install a vanilla Minecraft server and then run Forge installer. The vanilla server can be downloaded in its respective page.
If you get an error about «There are already files at the target directory», click on the three dots to choose the current location of your Minecraft server (the video shows this).
Once you started vanilla server (don’t forget to change EULA), install Forge and you are done. Now you can launch Forge server by double clicking «forge-version-xx.xx.x.xxxx-version.universal.jar» or using the command below.

This tutorial is intended for Windows users, but may be of some use to users who use other operating systems (Mac, Linux).
Information [ ]
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar FORGE_FILE_NAME.jar --nogui PAUSE
1.5 and prior [ ]
This tutorial is intended for Windows users, but may be of some use to users who use other operating systems (Mac, Linux)
Information [ ]
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar SERVER_FILE_NAME.jar --nogui PAUSE
you can give the server more memory by changing the 1024 to a multiple of 1024
Notice [ ]
If the server start text doesn’t work then try renaming the SERVER_FILE_NAME to ‘SERVER_FILE_NAME.jar’ without the apostrophes. Or you could use this server start text instead:
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar SERVER_FILE_NAME.jar --nogui PAUSE
If you receive the «Java is not recognized» message, replace «java» with its file location. (e.g.: «C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe») The full string would be:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar FORGE_FILE_NAME.jar --nogui PAUSE
If you receive the «A problem occured running the Server launcher.java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException» message, try downloading and installing JRE 8 and point to it’s destination on run. This would look like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_321\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar FORGE_FILE_NAME.jar --nogui - Menu screen
