Server Notify
by Dooji
Server Notify lets server owners show pop-up notifications to players as they join a Fabric server, using text, images or textures.
What it does
Notifications are set up in-game with commands such as server-notify new, which takes a type, a quoted name and the content: a text message, an image from a URL, or a texture from the loaded resource pack. Each notification gets a name so it can be changed or viewed later, and sound can be set by giving a namespace and path for the sound to play when it appears.
The notification is shown to a player when they join the server, including players who have already seen it, and the screen offers a Dismiss button along with a hint to press ESC. Sizing is adjustable so an image can be scaled to fit Minecraft's GUI scale. The mod is a Fabric mod and runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Files cover 1.19.2, 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.4 for 1.21.1 as the latest build, and the code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Text notifications
A text notification displays a simple message on the join screen, with the message enclosed in quotation marks.
Image notifications
An image notification shows a picture loaded from a URL, and its width can be scaled down to fit the GUI.
Texture notifications
A texture notification displays a texture from the resource pack the player has loaded.
Command-based editing
Notifications are created, listed and modified through server-notify commands, and a single notification's details can be viewed.
