Dependencies

  • As of version 1.0.1, UniMixins (curse, modrinth, git) is a required dependency.

Features

  • Vanilla Compatible
  • Customizable Random MOTDs
  • Customizable PlayerList tooltip

New Features

  • Mod is fully server-side
  • {playerlist} variable backport, {weather}, {time}, {time_of_the_day}
  • Configurable server info update and hot reload intervals
  • Config reload command /cmotd_reload
  • TabFaces (curse, modrinth, git) compat
  • Modded compat variables

On first run, the mod will generate the two required files for MOTD customization in <server root dir>/CustomMOTD.

There are 2 files used for configuration: * customotdlist.txt * customplayerlist.txt

This mod supports multiline MOTDs (2 lines as per vanilla). To set a new line, use the pipe | character in the entry in custommotdlist.txt Each entry in custommotdlist.txt is a separate MOTD entry. customplayerlist.txt contains the replacement template for the player list tooltip.
