Description

This project is still in [beta], so a few features don't funtion as they should.

The project page and the first version aren't finished, but the main features do work. Feel free to report issues and malfunctions in the discord, this helps me very much as I'm working towards finishing a completely working mod.

💬 Better Join Messages

Features

  • Custom templates for join, leave, and first-time join messages, using {player} as a placeholder for the player's name
  • First-time join detection — greet new players and tell everyone else with a special message the first time they join, then switch to your regular join message afterward
  • Color code support using standard & codes (e.g. &e for yellow, &6 for gold)
  • Send global or local broadcast messages to the entire server, or only to players within a configurable distance
  • Lightweight, no dependencies besides Fabric API
