Config The Config file, found in `./config/enhanced_motd.json`, includes several options. The config can be reloaded by running the `/reload` command in-game. (Does not modify the vanilla `/reload` command, just hooks on to it).

  • "motds": A list of possible MOTDs lists! The mod will pick a random MOTD from every part of the list and concatenate them, producing a full MOTD. This feature is mainly so if you would like to contain a static part of information independent of a random one.

  • "use_randomized_icons": A boolean either enabling or disabling the randomized icon feature. Defaults to true.

  • "icons": A list of paths to server icons or HTTPS URLs. Paths are relative to the server directory. URLs must use HTTPS protocol for security. All icons must be 64x64 PNG images.

  • "log_when_loaded": A boolean telling whether to log for every reload. Off by default.

  • "CONFIG_VERSION_DO_NOT_TOUCH_PLS": Mod version --please do not touch it.

Example Config

{
  "motds": [
    [
      "&l<rb>⚡ RAINBOW SERVER ⚡</rb>",
      "&l<gradient:#FF0000:#FFFF00>» FIRE REALM «</gradient>",
      "&l<gradient:#00FFFF:#0000FF>≋ OCEAN VIBES ≋</gradient>"
    ],
    [
      "&r&o- Join the &l<rb>adventure</rb>&r&n!",
      "&r- <gradient:#00AA00:#005500>Survival</gradient> | <gradient:#FF0000:#AA0000>PvP</gradient>",
      "&r&o- Fresh <gradient:#00FF00:#FFD700>world</gradient> just released!"
    ]
  ],
  "use_randomized_icons": true,
  "icons": [
    "server-icon.png",
