EliteMOTD

!(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/5f31448cdbf1c5ee96e4357f856ca27a909fc6de_0.webp) EliteMOTD is a lightweight, high-performance multi-platform Minecraft plugin designed to provide dynamic, MiniMessage-based Server List MOTDs. It is built with a focus on Separation of Concerns, featuring dedicated modules for Paper (including Folia), Velocity, and BungeeCord to ensure zero unnecessary overhead on each platform. Tested on Paper (26. 1. 2) Only, updates for others added in the major change from paper to multi-module. (So let me know if you experience any issues)

Paper/Folia - Beta 1. 0. 1 can use the hover feature. - _WARNING BETA (Do not use the hover feature, for now leave disabled, it will break the MOTD. Also I have now tested fake players, might have never worked I didn't use it on my server, but it appears to not work now. (total player count does work though))_ - hide-player-count tested and working "hide-player-count: true"

### Core Features

Modern Formatting: Full support for Kyori MiniMessage, allowing for gradients, RGB colors, and complex text styling without legacy code bloat.

Multi-Platform Native: Custom-tailored modules for Paper/Folia, Velocity, and BungeeCord that utilize platform-specific APIs for maximum efficiency.

Dynamic Player Counts: Advanced "Fake Player" logic supporting constant values, percentage-based inflation, and "Just X More" display modes.

Custom Hover Tooltips (NEW! Breaks BetaVersions 1. 0, works on 1. 0. 1): Replace the standard player list hover with multiple lines of custom, formatted text.

Icon Management: Supports per-MOTD server icons (64x64) with an internal cache to minimize disk I/O during ping events.

Bedrock Awareness (NEW! Not Tested): Specifically engineered to account for Geyser pings, providing documentation and advisory logs for consistent cross-play configuration.

### Technical Specifications

Architecture: Multi-module Maven project with shaded and relocated dependencies (Adventure API) in attempt to prevent classpath conflicts.

Performance: Event handlers are optimized for high-concurrency environments, including native support for Folia’s multi-threaded ticking.

Configuration: Simple YAML-based setup with support for multiple MOTD entries and random rotation.

I hope everything works well and this is what you needed, for a long time I used miniMOTD....the other day I tried it on my paper 26. 1. 2 server and it worked but had several bugs :( So I coded my own, but then I read how others liked certain MOTD plugins that also aren't working right or lost support. So this should last for awhile.

This is the first release, please note bugs then let me know. If the plugin version for Folia(Use Paper)/Velocity/Bungee are having issues or don't load let me know they are quick released versions I decided would potentially be nice for others.(Bungee was done rather quick, its the one I'm a bit more concerned about)

Extra: Discord will be listed soon.

Updates: Paper will always come first.

Next Update (Paper 1. 0. 1 Beta)

!(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/ab7755b6f6ff15c364c15bcecbc4a0f109688f37.png) If you hide player count and don't mind the 2 drawbacks, no proper green ping it says incompatible version always and legacy only color support (MM to Legacy), you will be able to set the top line!

Paper version has now had the hover description option fixed in 1. 0. 1, I don't really see servers use it anymore, the old way of doing it failed due to several updates to the way things are done. I figured it out though. (MM to Legacy as well) !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/75fccb893629deefbf7b0b7f23fba5f86dd3df4f.png)

Q: What do I mean by MM to Legacy? A: Minimessage for example "STOP" and legacy "§4STOP". The Hover and TopLine only support legacy but I allow MM to legacy so and etc still work but it struggles with things like gradients, and it has limited colors. So it has to be kept to simple MM.
