Custom Server MOTD

This mod provides extensive options for customizing your Minecraft server's connection screen. You gain complete control over the server menu appearance, including MOTD configuration, server icon, displayed player count, maximum player limit, and player list on hover.

The mod supports integration with Placeholder API, allowing the use of dynamic placeholders in text elements. A key feature is using a server icon link instead of a local file - this enables automatic image updates every 10 seconds if the source changes.

Configuration

All features can be easily disabled by commenting out corresponding lines in the configuration file. When using placeholders in MOTD text, they must be enclosed in double quotes, for example: "%server:time%"
