About AnimMOTD

From SpigotMC

Animated MOTD and server icon

I'm sorry but I'm not longer updating/maintaining this plugin or developing newer editions as I'm not able to find the time. Thanks for an awesome run, and hopefully this will work as long as possible. Enjoy! - lite20

Note:
I highly recommend downloading the newest version (1.9) as it adds features making the plugin much stronger, faster, more useful. None the less, version 1.2 and 1.7 are still available

Version 1.9.1 has minor fixes so I recommend the update. But if 1.9 works for you, don't bother update.

What is it?
After seeing all the plugins for bungee that allowed animated server icons and MOTD's I thought I'd do the community a favor and release a free one. Built off code by bigteddy98, this is also open source but is designed to be for anyone who has a server, not just developers.

Features:

Animate server icon
Animate server MOTD, both line 1 and 2
Animate player list
Animate player count
Change animation speed
Live Edit (modify MOTD and such without stopping the server!)
Variables (%COUNT% gets replaced with number of people on server... stuff like that)
Variable API (You can download and make variables!)

All while remaining simple and easy to use!

How do I use it?
