A friendly way to roll out the welcome mat for your players!

WelcomeMat is a lightweight, powerful plugin that enhances your server's welcome experience. It provides customizable join/leave messages, titles, animations, and sounds to make players feel at home on every login.

🎉 What's New!

Version 1.3.1 (Latest)

• 🍃 Folia-Ready Animations: Visual effects now use the latest Folia entity schedulers (1.21.8+) with automatic signature detection, clamped delays, and no unsafe Bukkit fallbacks.
• 🧠 Smarter Diagnostics: If future Folia builds introduce new scheduler signatures, they’re logged automatically so you can keep running the same jar everywhere.
• 🧾 Auto Version Metadata: plugin.yml now inherits the Gradle version, guaranteeing accurate version strings inside the jar.
• 🌌 Skyward & Copper Packs: Two new message packs inspired by the 1.21 “Chase the Skies” and “Copper Age” updates, selectable right from the GUI.

Version 1.2.x Highlights

• Message Packs System: Multiple themed collections (default, friendly, professional, funny, RPG) with GUI switching.
• Multi-Language Support: English and Spanish out of the box with easy CLI/GUI selection.
• Improved Configuration Display: Human-friendly display names and cleaner GUI organization.

🔄 Compatibility

• Fully tested on Bukkit/Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and Folia from Minecraft 1.13 through 1.21.10.
• Region-aware scheduler paths keep Folia’s watchdog happy while the same jar continues to run flawlessly on single-threaded servers.
