What it does

The mod ports the MiniMOTD plugin to Forge and NeoForge, letting a server owner set a custom message of the day. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. Builds cover 1.12.2 – 1.21.4 on Forge and NeoForge, with 2.0.13 as the latest file for each loader. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  3. Official wiki and issue tracker

What the author says

If you are hosting a forge+bukkit hybrid server, such as CatServer, Magma, Mohist and Arclight, you should install the offical MiniMOTD bukkit plugin. DO NOT report to the official MiniMOTD Github!
