Frequently asked questions

Yep, you can import an MOTD from a server address or server.properties/MiniMOTD config, then edit and preview it in our powerful editor.

Choose server.properties for a standard Minecraft server MOTD with classic colors and formatting. Choose MiniMOTD when that plugin controls your server list message, and you want to use RGB colors, gradients or custom shadows.

RGB colors, gradients and custom shadows require MiniMessage support. Install MiniMOTD, copy the generated MOTD in MiniMOTD format, paste it into your MiniMOTD config, and reload the plugin.

Install MiniMOTD

Minecraft displays a server MOTD across two lines. This generator allows up to 45 visible characters per line to keep text readable in the multiplayer server list.
