Describe the feature

Allowing server owners to toggle between "soft offline" and "full offline" status. Soft offline is what currently happens when Minehut servers are offline; they have the offline MOTD and says to go to the lobby and do /join to turn on the server. Full offline is what happens when non-Minehut servers are offline; connecting throws you the funny "connection was closed by remote host" message

How the feature is useful

I used to put my Minehut servers on server lists and whenever the server was offline it would say "server offline, go to lobby and do /join" and it really annoyed me since it also made it so the server looked like it had 100% uptime and was online all the time while it wasn't.

Trent has said in the past that a large portion of new players comes from minehut servers that might have gone offline or accidentally did /lobby to find out about minehut as the hosting service. Taking away this feature also means taking away potential minehut customers, which I don't see how minehut benefits from.
