I've created all my mods in my free time ⏳ for you all gratuitously with love 💖.
If you enjoy 😁 this mod and want to give something in reward 💰:
You can support 🤝me either on Patreon, Paypal or Flattr.

Attention:
If you're updating from Version 1.0.5 to the 1.1.0 (or higher) you should backup your AdvancedMotd configs and delete the original configs afterwards. I needed to make several changes to have a better structure. Sorry for that in advance.

Brief

This mod gives you as admin or as single player the ability to make your server motd more dynamically. You are able to signalize your players when it's safe to join your server by using colours. Furthermore you can display in the motd the current dimension time and its day. A hook to Bloodmoon makes it possible to signalize if the bloodmoon is active or not. A hook to Serena Seasons makes it possible to display the current season. For more have a look at the config section.

Usage

Basically it's the idea of CallMeFoxie (CanIJoinNow), but the mod was to basic for me, therefore I developed a complete new mod on the basis of that idea and create this more dynamical, flexible and customizable mod. Setup your config or change your motd.

You can use this mod within a server without needing it as player. (Server side)
You can use this mod as single player, too. (Client side)

Commands to configure the base motd

Configurations to define e.g. the time format

Commands

The base command is:

advancedmotd

Append one of the sub commands to execute them. Example:

advancedmotd help

Sub commands

The text between the signs less than and greater than is necessary to execute it correctly. The text between brackets is optional.

aliases
- Shows available aliases for the main command.
help (<command>)
- Shows help for each available command.
print
- Shows the unformatted motd.
reload
- Will reload the configuration from disc.
set <motd>
- Sets a new base motd.
show
- Shows the formatted motd.

Permissions

Each command has it's own permission so that the mod is fully customizable to your needs.

Structure:

advancedmotd.commands.Commands //Main command

advancedmotd.commands.Command<CommandName> //Sub commands

Example:

advancedmotd.commands.CommandHelp //Help command

advancedmotd.commands.CommandSet //Set command

[...]

I can't assume that you want provide the functions of the mod to anyone therefore you will possibly encounter the message: "You do not have permission to use this command."

Use a permission manager like ThutPerms to solve this problem by providing you the permissions you need.

Installation

Just put the mod into your mod folder. It's only needed on the server-side if you're hosting a server.

Dependencies

You need at least the corresponding Forge Version.

Language

Currently I'm providing the mod in british english (hopefully). There will be a language file created which gives you the ability to translate the entire mod to your target language:

config/advancedmotd/configLang.cfg

Ideas / Suggestions

As developer one can only guess what the needs of admins / players are, so don't hesitate telling me your ideas / suggestions. Even if you're thinking that some things could be solved much easier or on another way I will appreciate it.

Bugs / Problems

I'm not able to cover all conditions the mod will encounter therefore there can always be bugs / problems, if you find some please tell me so I can fix them. One advice from me at this point: Provide basic information like MC/Forge version and mod version.

Modding

Outstanding until it gets open source.

Source Code (/ Copyright)

I'm a fan of open source, I really do and I'm willing to provide the source code if I get enough requests for it or I decide to publish it - until this point all rights are reserved.
