ArchiveJoin

Fully customizable join, leave and first-join messages — with full MiniMessage support.

Turn a boring "Player joined the game" into a branded, gradient-styled welcome message. Perfect for making your server feel alive from the very first second.

✨ What it does

Whenever a player joins, leaves, or joins for the first time, ArchiveJoin sends a fully customized message to everyone — or just to the player, or just to staff. You decide.

• Join message — shown when any player connects
• Quit message — shown when any player disconnects
• First-join message — special message only the first time a player joins
• Welcome title / actionbar (optional) — big title on join
