MotdAwa Usage Guide

Installation

1. Place the Jar file into the mods folder of your Fabric server. Install Fabric API as a prerequisite first. This mod only needs to be installed on the server side; players do not need it on their clients.
2. Launch the server. The config file motd_awa.json will be automatically generated in the config directory.

Configuration Editing

Shut down the server before editing the config file:

1. motdList: Add multiple MOTD lines. It supports vanilla Minecraft § color codes and \n for line breaks. Wrap text with <rainbow>text</rainbow> to generate bold rainbow text with one click.
2. enableRandomMotd: Set to true to enable random rotation, or false to lock the first MOTD entry permanently.
3. updateIntervalSeconds: Define the refresh interval for MOTD switching (in seconds).

Apply Changes

Save your edits and restart the server. You will see the dynamically rotating MOTD on the server list page.

Supplementary Answer: Supported Rainbow Text Format

Only the exclusive tag format <rainbow>Your Text</rainbow> is supported. Text inside the tags will be automatically converted to bold gradient rainbow colors. Regular spaces inside the tag will be ignored for color cycling.
