Auto Greeting
by lyuwenhan
Auto Greeting sends preset chat messages to the server when a player joins, based on conditions the player sets up.
What it does
Auto Greeting posts greeting messages when another player joins the server the player is on. Each greeting can be a plain chat line, a command, or a normal chat message, and several messages can be configured at once. Placeholders are filled in when a greeting is sent, and blacklist and whitelist rules decide whether a joining player's name triggers the greeting logic.
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod, so only the player who runs it needs it and the server does not. Toggles turn automatic greetings on or off and control which messages are sent. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional dependencies that add a settings screen. Files exist for 1.21.11 and 26.3, and the latest Fabric file is 1.2.1 for 26.3, published 2026-09-24.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links to its source code and issue tracker. It was first published on 2026-01-23 and last updated on 2026-09-24.

Placeholders and message types
Placeholders are filled in at send time, and each message can be a chat line, a command or a normal chat message.

Welcoming a community
A server community can greet newcomers with the same message each time, without anyone typing it.
Filtering who gets greeted

Who it’s for: Players who want automatic welcome messages on the servers they join. Only the client needs the mod, so no server setup is involved.
