Welcome Messages

Join and leave messages, a welcome for first-time players, and a message of the day. Placeholders for name, online count and player number.

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.txt are 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.

Built for Hytale 0.7.x; also compiles against the 0.8 pre-release. Licence: MIT.
