Introduction#

The Message of the Day (MOTD) feature displays a custom welcome message to players when they join the server. This can include server rules, announcements, or greetings.

Configuration#

The MOTD is configured in the EternalCore's appropriate messages files, e.g. en_messages.yml, pl_messages.yml.

You can customize:

  • The message content (supports color codes and placeholders)
  • Formatting and styling
# This section is responsible for the messages of the MOTD feature.
motd:
  # Message of the Day (MOTD) content that will be sent to players when they join the server.
  # Out of the box supported placeholders: {PLAYER}, {WORLD}
  # You can add your own placeholders using the PlaceholderAPI.
