PrivateJoinMessage

PrivateJoinMessage is a lightweight Minecraft plugin for Paper and Purpur that sends private, randomized join messages directly to players instead of announcing them to the entire server.

✨ Features

• Sends a private join message to the player
• Messages are randomly selected from a configurable list
• Includes support for "/pjm reload" and "/pjm list" commands
• Integrates with LuckPerms for permission-based access
• Messages stored in messages.json file
• Supports "quoted" messages and placeholder %player%

📅 Installation

1. Download the latest release .jar from Releases
2. Drop it into your server’s plugins/ folder
3. Start or restart your server

📜 Configuration

The plugin automatically generates a messages.json file in the plugin data folder.

Example:

[
  "Welcome back, %player%!",
  "Hey %player%, great to see you!",
  "Hope you brought snacks, %player%!",
  "The adventure begins again, %player%!",
  "Ready to roll, %player%?",
  "“Quotes work fine here,” said %player%."
]

Use %player% to insert the player’s name.
