About this Mod

Custom MOTD

This mod gives you access to customize your server join screen.
You can change your MOTD, icon, player count, max players and the hover players.
It also supports Placeholder API.

The icon is now a link instead of locally. Why?, this is because you can now have a link that has a changing picture, and it will update to it every 10 sec.

Important If you don't want one of the features you can easily turn them off bye commenting out them in the config.
