Join Messages Plus

Join Messages Plus replaces Minecraft's plain join and leave messages with fully customizable ones.

Features

• Custom messages for join, leave, and first-time joins
• MiniMessage support — colors, gradients, and formatting in every message
• Random messages — set a list and each event picks one at random
• Placeholders — <display_name>, <name>, <online>, <max>, <world>
• Hide vanilla messages entirely for a silent join/leave
• Instant config reload with /joinmessages reload

Commands

Example

join-message:
  enabled: true
  random: true
  messages:
    - "<green>+ <gray><display_name> <dark_gray>» <white>joined the server"
    - "<green>+ <gray><display_name> <dark_gray>» <white>hopped in"
first-join-message:
  enabled: true
  messages:
    - "<gold>✦ <white><display_name> <gray>joined for the first time! Welcome!"

Drop the jar into your plugins folder, restart the server, then edit plugins/JoinMessagesPlus/config.yml. No dependencies required.
