About First Join Message
From Modrinth💬 Sends players who join a world for the first time a configurable message.
First Join Message is a minimalistic configurable mod which sends a message to players who join a world for the first time. This can be used to create a more immersive first experience, or a more informational message with for example the rules of a server or minigame. There is also an option to broadcast a message to the whole server if a new player joins.
All available config options:
Show Spoiler
