Join and leave messages, a welcome broadcast for first-time players, and a message of the day sent to each player shortly after joining. Server-side only.
Features
- Join / leave messages for everyone online, with the player's name and the online count.
- First-join welcome: "Welcome ! You are player # to join." The mod remembers who has joined before.
- MOTD: the lines of
motd.txtare sent to the joining player after a short delay (default 2 seconds) so they arrive once the world is visible. - Placeholders in every message:
{name},{online},{count}.
Settings
welcome.properties in the mod's data directory (created on first start): broadcastJoinLeave (true), joinMessage, leaveMessage, firstJoinMessage, motdEnabled (true), motdDelaySeconds (2), color, firstJoinColor, motdColor. If your server already shows its own join and leave lines, set broadcastJoinLeave=false.
Install
Drop the jar into the server's mods/ folder and restart.
