Welcome to the BMOTD Wiki!

BMOTD is a high-performance, lightweight MOTD plugin designed for Paper and Folia servers (1.21.7+). This wiki helps you get started with installation, configuration, and advanced features.

🚀 Getting Started

  1. Installation: Download the latest release from Modrinth and place it in your plugins/ folder.
  2. First Run: Start your server once to generate the default configuration and language files.
  3. Configuration: Edit plugins/BMOTD/config.yml to customize your MOTD.

🛠 Configuration Guide

The config.yml allows you to set the default language and enable features like random MOTD rotation.

Language System

BMOTD supports multi-language setups. By default, the plugin comes with:

  • en.yml (English)
  • de.yml (German)

Change the language field in your config.yml to switch locales.

MOTD Customization

We use MiniMessage for all styling. You can create complex gradients, add bold text, and more without using legacy color codes.

Example:

motds:
  motd1:
    line-1: "<gradient:aqua:blue>Welcome to the server!</gradient>"
    line-2: "<gray>Enjoy your stay."
