by kamussy

FabricForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.19.2 – 1.20.6

What it does

At random intervals of 10 to 20 minutes, the mod posts a join or leave message to chat. The name shown is either a real player's username or obfuscated text, so the notice can look like someone arriving or departing when nobody has. It is intended for building a creepier world or for confusing friends during play.

The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric and Forge, with files for 1.19.2 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Random fake notices

    A join or leave message is posted to chat at a random point within each 10 to 20 minute window.

  2. Username or obfuscated text

    Each message uses either a real player's username or scrambled text, which makes the notice harder to dismiss.

  3. Chat-only effect

    The mod only sends chat messages and changes nothing else in the world, so gameplay is unaffected.
