  • HEX colors, gradients, and formatting
  • Frame-based animated MOTD
  • Static server icon per preset
  • Weighted random and sticky-per-IP preset selection
  • Automatic icons/ directory creation
  • Default placeholder icon on first startup
  • Safe fallbacks and config validation

Плагин разработан с упором на производительность и стабильность:

  • без использования NMS
  • без внешних зависимостей
  • минимальная нагрузка при пинге сервера

BetterMOTD использует MiniMessage для современного форматирования текста, включая HEX-цвета, градиенты и форматированные MOTD.
Вся настройка выполняется через чистый и понятный файл config.yml.

✨ Возможности

  • Динамический MOTD с использованием MiniMessage
  • HEX-цвета, градиенты и форматирование
  • Кадровая анимация MOTD
  • Статическая иконка сервера для каждого пресета
  • Взвешенный случайный выбор и sticky-режим по IP

  • Заглушка default.png при первом запуске
  • Безопасные fallback-механизмы и валидация конфига

📦 Совместимость

  • Сервер: Paper
  • Java: 21+

🚀 Установка

  1. Скачайте последнюю версию во вкладке Versions

🖼️ Иконки сервера

  • Формат: PNG
  • Размер: 64×64
  • Путь: plugins/BetterMOTD/icons/

Все операции максимально лёгкие и безопасные даже для крупных серверов.
