SkiesJoinMessages
by Stampede
SkiesJoinMessages lets server owners replace the vanilla join and leave messages with custom text for groups of players.
What it does
Server owners can turn off the default join and leave messages and write their own in their place. Messages can be assigned to permission-based groups, so different players see different text when they connect or disconnect. The configuration is covered on the project's wiki.
The mod is for multiplayer servers that want welcome or farewell lines without editing vanilla behavior. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin are required and must be placed in the server's mods folder with the mod. Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the latest build is 1.1.0-BETA1 for 1.21.1, released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 as open source.
Key features
Custom join messages
Replace the default join message with text chosen by the server owner for each player or group.
Custom leave messages
Set a separate message for players who disconnect, so farewells can differ from welcomes.
Disable vanilla messages
The default join and leave messages can be switched off, leaving only the configured text in chat.
Permission-based groups
Messages are tied to permission groups, letting administrators assign different text to staff, regulars or guests.
