WELCOME WAGON MOD!

✨ Welcome!

This mod introduces clean, customizable join messages that can be configured for new players and/or existing players logging back in. It also included timed auto-repeating announcements for the server.

All messages can be customised with Minecraft colour and formatting codes, add clickable links + hover text, and manage everything in-game with /wwm commands or edit via config.

🎯 What it is:

Ever played on a Bucket or Spigot server? Remember the plugins that let you add customisable welcome messages for new players or for existing players? As well as timed announcements? I sure do. But when searching for a FORGE alternative, it seemed like you can get one or the other but nothing that combines everything into one mod. Well, now you can! Get most of the same functionality on FORGE modded servers!

Welcome Wagon lets server owners craft:

• First-join welcome messages for new players.

• Returning player greetings for existing players logging in.

• Timed announcements that repeat every customer number of minutes.

All text supports Minecraft formatting codes (&a, &b, &l, etc.) and {player} expands to the joining player’s name. You can also define named links (click actions) and hover text that attach to words in your messages - or just drop full URLs and they’ll auto-link. (Also supports Unicode Symbols.

🤝 Who it’s for

• Community servers that want friendly, branded, separate welcomes for both new and existing players.

• SMPs with rotating announcements (rules, Discord, Dynmap, events)

• Admins who prefer commands over config files (but a TOML is included)

✅ Features

/wwm root command (short & conflict-free)

First Join and Returning Player message sets with separate content.

Timed announcements with per-timer repeat minutes

Clickable links and hover tooltips (per set and per timer)

Autolink: paste a full http(s)://… URL and it becomes clickable

Formatting: all standard & codes (&0…&f, &l, &n, &o, &k, &r)

Placeholders: {player} → online name (works at login & previews)

Works on Forge 1.20.1

Server-side, clients don’t need the mod.
