Daily Dad - Server

by Mrbysco

Daily Dad - Server makes the server post a dad joke each time a player joins or when the log server posts one, drawn from a joke service.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 26.2

What it does

Dad jokes come from the icanhazdadjoke API, so the server pulls a fresh joke for each announcement. Only the server needs the mod: players join without installing it, and clients need nothing extra. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and Forge Config API Port is required on Forge. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with builds covering 1.18.2 – 26.2.

Key features

  1. Dad jokes on join

    A joke is shown when a player joins the server, so newcomers see one right away.

  2. Jokes in the log

    Each joke is also written to the server log whenever one is posted, for owners who watch the console.

  3. Joke source

    The jokes are fetched from the icanhazdadjoke API, a public collection of groan-worthy puns.
