LiveMotdManager Wiki

Welcome to the LiveMotdManager wiki. This documentation expands on configuration and usage.

Features

  • Dynamic MOTD templates based on time, player count and TPS
  • Real world weather integration via openweathermap.org
  • DiscordSRV integration
  • Works on Spigot/Paper/Folia servers and BungeeCord/Waterfall/Velocity proxies

Configuration

See the included config.yml for a starting point. Each motd entry contains a when rule and the MiniMessage formatted text to display.

Weather

Set weather.enable to true and specify city. Use %weather_motd% or %weather_city% placeholders in your templates. The weather.update-interval-minutes option controls how often new data is fetched (default 10 minutes). An API key from OpenWeather is required and must be placed in weather.api-key.

Discord

If DiscordSRV is installed you can show online Discord users with %discord_online%.

Commands

Run /motd help in game for the complete list.

  • /motd reload – reload configuration
  • /motd set <text> – set a temporary MOTD until restart
  • /motd info – show debug information
  • /motd force <template|off> – force a configured template

Updates

The plugin checks for new releases on GitHub when it starts. If a newer version is available you will see a console message with a download link. Releases are available at github.com/Locon213/LiveMotdManager/releases.

Building

Run mvn package to build. Jars are created in each module's target directory with names like livemotdmanager-spigot-1.0.0.jar.
