Welcome Mod
by tsunddev
Welcome Mod sends a configurable greeting to players when they join a Fabric server, with separate public and private messages.
What it does
Players who join a server running Welcome Mod receive a message set by the server owner. The text can be shown to everyone as a broadcast, sent only to the joining player as a private note, or both. Placeholders in the message are filled in at send time, so each greeting can use the joining player's details.
The mod is configured through a JSON file in the server's config folder, and a default config is supplied on first run. Server owners can edit it by hand or through the MidnightLib GUI. Where MidnightLib supports live config updates, changes apply without a server restart. Welcome Mod is server-side only: players join without installing it, and the environment has no client part. It is published for 1.21.10 only, with the Fabric loader, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Public and private greetings
A greeting can be broadcast to all players, sent only to the player who just joined, or both at once.
Placeholder substitution
Placeholders in the broadcast and personal messages are replaced with the joining player's details before sending.
Config in JSON or in-game
Settings live in a JSON file in the server config folder and can also be changed through the MidnightLib interface.
Live config updates
Where MidnightLib supports it, edited settings apply without restarting the server.

Use cases
Public community greeting
A server owner sets a broadcast message so that every arrival is announced to the whole server.
Private welcome note
A server owner sends new players a personal message with rules or starting tips, without posting it to everyone.
Who it’s for: Server owners running a Fabric server on 1.21.10 who want to greet joining players, either publicly, privately or both. Players do not need to install anything.
