Fortune
by wh0oo
Fortune is a server-side Fabric mod that sends players a random fortune message when they join a server.
What it does
Each time a player joins, the server shows a random fortune in chat. The fortunes are read from a fortunes.json file in the config folder, so server owners can write their own lines and edit or remove the defaults. A reload command applies changes without restarting the server, and the mod is open source under the MIT License.

Custom fortunes
Server owners write their own fortunes in the fortunes.json file in the config folder.
Reload command
