Auto Greeting - Server
by lyuwenhan
Auto Greeting - Server sends preset greeting messages to players when they join a server, based on conditions the server owner configures.
What it does
When a player joins, the mod checks the joining name against configured rules, and a greeting is sent only if those rules allow it. Rules can be blacklists or whitelists of player names, so greetings can be limited to some players. Multiple messages can be set up, and placeholders can be used inside them.
Each message can be a plain chat line or a command that runs when the player joins. A pipe character between two options means the second is used. Separate settings control whether the automatic greeting is enabled or disabled and which messages the mod sends.
The mod is Fabric-only and server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. Files cover 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and 26.3, with 1.2.0 for 26.3 as the latest, and the mod is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Placeholders and options
