About Custom Server MOTD

From Modrinth

Gives you many options to customize your servers appearance from the server menu.

Custom MOTD

This mod gives you access to customize your server join screen. You can change your MOTD, icon, player count, max players and the hover players. It also supports Placeholder API.

The icon is now a link instead of locally. Why?, this is because you can now have a link that has a changing picture, and it will update to it every 10 sec.

Important If you don't want one of the features you can easily turn them off bye commenting out them in the config.

Example

Example Example 2

Config

In your motd if you use placeholders you need to place it between two "", For example "%server:time%"

#Motd text (uses vanilla system, use this tool https://mctools.org/motd-creator), You can also use the normal vannila color codes. They are located here (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Formatting_codes)
motd: A minecraft server

# From here remove "#" if you want to use a feature

#Potho link (use this if you want to change the photo at the same time as the server is running)

#link-to-photo: link

#If you want to change the max player count, (Only visual, not changing your player count)
#max-player-count: 420

#If you want to change the current player count, (Only visual)
#player-count: 69

#Hover text for player amount, max 12, (Only visual)
#plyer-list:
