Welcome Messages
- By
A welcome for first-time players with their player number, and a message of the day sent on join. Placeholders for name and online count.
Runs on: Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge, Fabric), 1.21.1 (NeoForge, Fabric) and 26.3 (Fabric). Server-side only, so vanilla players can join.
A proper first impression. New players get a broadcast welcome with their player number ("Welcome Alex! You are player #42 to join."), and everyone gets your message of the day a couple of seconds after joining. Vanilla's own join and leave lines are left alone.
- Players who joined before you installed the mod are recognised from the world's player data, so they are not greeted as new
- MOTD lines in config/welcomemessages/motd.txt, one per line, with {name}, {online} and {count}
- firstJoinMessage, motdEnabled, motdDelaySeconds, firstJoinColor, motdColor in welcome.properties
Compatibility: Minecraft 26.3 with Fabric Loader 0.20.1 and Fabric API. Java 25. Server-side: runs on dedicated servers and on the integrated server in singleplayer; other players install nothing. Licence: MIT.
Found a bug or want a feature? Comment here and I will answer. Custom plugin work for servers is available on request.
Need something custom? I build small server plugins to order from $35 (fixes) and $90 (a new one-feature plugin): https://ko-fi.com/molonlav3/commissions . If this mod saved you time, a coffee helps keep the updates coming: https://ko-fi.com/molonlav3
