ServerWelcome (Fabric Server-Side)

ServerWelcome is a modern, lightweight, server-side only welcome mod for Minecraft Fabric servers.

?? Features

• Server-Side Only: Players do not need to install this mod on their clients. Works with vanilla Minecraft and modded clients.
• Universal Multi-Version Compatibility: Compatible across Minecraft 1.16 through 1.20, 1.21, and 26.x series on Fabric.
• Persistent First-Join Tracking: Uses UUIDs in config/serverwelcome/players.json so username changes never affect first-join status.
• Customizable Chat Messages: Unique messages for new vs. returning players.
• Titles & Subtitles: Server-side animated titles with configurable fade in, stay, and fade out durations.
• Sound Effects: Play Minecraft sound effects with custom volume and pitch.
• Action Bar Messages: Optional greetings above the hotbar.
• Broadcast Announcements: Announce first-time player arrivals to everyone online.
• First Join Rewards: Execute server console commands (such as starter kits) once per UUID on first join.
• Dynamic Server Name: The server name is never hardcoded. Change server.name in config.json and %server% updates dynamically across all messages.
• Suppress Vanilla Messages: Optionally hide default Minecraft join and leave messages.
• Hex Color & Style Codes: Full support for &a, ?e, &#RRGGBB, and emojis.
