What it does

On a server running Status Changer, the server list icon is swapped at a set interval. The default interval is 3600 seconds, one hour, and the server owner can change it in the configuration file. Each time the timer fires, a new status is chosen at random from the statuses provided in the configuration, and that status is shown as the message of the day.

Custom statuses may contain formatting codes for colors and styles. Icons are read from a folder the owner points to, which may include subfolders, and each image must be a 64x64 file in the expected image format. Status Changer depends on Fabric API and is published only for Fabric. It is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Builds exist for 1.19 only, with 1.0.0 for 1.19 as the latest file, published on 2022-06-28.
