Message of the Day - MOTD

Version 0.1.1 Update: The "Control & Customization" Patch

This update brings a significant overhaul to how you manage and display messages. From real-time configuration to dynamic random titles, your server announcements just got a lot more flexible.

🛠️ Configuration & Core Changes

• Structural Rework: The config system has been completely redesigned for future-proofing and expanded options.

  • ⚠️ Action Required: Please delete your old config file before installing this update to allow the new structure to generate properly.

• Live Editing: Added chat commands that allow you to modify config settings in real-time without leaving the game.

• Manual Reload System: Added a /motd reload command. Changes to the config files are not automatic to the game; use this command to push your updates to the server.

• Update Notifications: You will now receive a notification when a new version of the plugin is available, ensuring you never miss a feature or fix.

🎭 New Features

• Randomized Titles: Introduce variety to your server's look!

  • New file: randomEventTitles.json.

  • Store your custom phrases here. When enabled in the config, the plugin will pull from both primary and secondary titles to keep things fresh.

• Server-Wide Announcements: The biggest addition yet! Use the /motd announcement command for high-visibility broadcasts.

  • Console Support: Perfect for automated server restart warnings.

  • Dual-Line Formatting: Use a pipe symbol (|) to separate the primary and secondary text.

  • Smart Defaults: If no pipe is used, the secondary title defaults to "Server Wide Announcement".

📝 Announcement Examples

• Two-Line: /motd announcement Server Restarting in 5 min | Get to somewhere safe

• Single-Line: /motd announcement Server Restarting in 5 min
