Welcome_awa
by Nanyu
Welcome_awa sends a colored welcome message to each player when they join a Fabric server, with the joining player's name filled in automatically.
What it does
On a Fabric server, Welcome_awa displays a custom message whenever a player logs in. The text can use Minecraft color codes, so a line can be green or any other native color, and the placeholder player% is replaced by the joining player's username. Line breaks are created with \n, which lets a welcome text span several lines.
The settings live in a JSON file named welcome-mod.json, generated automatically inside the config folder the first time the server starts. Changes saved to that file take effect after a server restart, or immediately by typing welcome reload in the console, so the configuration can be adjusted without stopping the server. Fabric API is a required dependency, and the mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything.
Welcome_awa is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files are published for Fabric only, in two game versions, 26.2 and 26.3, with 2.5 for 26.3 as the latest file, dated 2026-09-16. The first release was published on 2026-06-23.
