NzxterMOTD

# ✨ NzxterMOTD ✨ A modern, highly optimized, and feature-rich Message of the Day (MOTD) plugin for Bukkit/Spigot servers. Powered by **(https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/protocollib.1997/)**, this plugin allows you to completely customize your server's appearance in the multiplayer server list with dynamic gradients, maintenance modes, fake player counts, and unique hover menus! --- ## 🚀 Key Features * **🌈 Dynamic Color Gradients:** Built-in advanced gradient parsing (`<green>`, `<aqua>`, `<gold>`, etc.) to create smooth, eye-catching multi-color transitions across your MOTD lines, version names, and player hover lists. * **🔧 Smart Maintenance Mode:** Toggle maintenance with a simple command (`/motd maintenance on`). Non-staff players will see a custom maintenance MOTD, unique favicon, and will be gracefully kicked with a fully formatted message if they try to join. * **👥 Flexible Player Count & Fake Players:** * Set a custom maximum player count independent of your `server.properties`. * Enable **Fake Players** to simulate active traffic with a randomized counter up to your maximum player limit. * **🎨 Complete Server-List Customization:** * **Custom Version Text:** Replace the standard player count string (e.g., `1.20.4`) with customized status text, featuring alignment support for an elegant split layout. * **Interactive Player Hover Menu:** Fully customize the text lines displayed when players hover over the player count in their server list. * **Dynamic Favicons:** Automatically switch between normal and maintenance server icons (`server-icon.png`) to visually signal server status. * **⚡ Highly Performant:** Built straight onto packet-level processing using ProtocolLib adapters, ensuring minimal impact on main server tick rates. * **🌍 Bilingual Commands:** Support for both English (`/motd maintenance`) and German (`/motd wartung`) subcommands out of the box! --- ## 🛠️ Commands & Permissions | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `/motd reload` | Reloads the configuration and layout variables. | | `/motd maintenance <on\|off>` | Toggles maintenance mode status (Alias: `/motd wartung`). | | `/motd fakeplayer <on\|off>` | Enables or disables randomized fake player display (Alias: `/motd fakespieler`). | | `/motd max <number>` | Dynamically updates the maximum player limit. | ### 🔑 Permissions * `motd.team` — Bypasses maintenance mode kick restriction and counts towards team player placeholders. * `motd.bypass` — Bypasses full server connection restrictions when the maximum player count is reached. --- ## 📦 Configuration Overview The plugin generates a detailed `config.yml` where you can customize all messages, text lists, and design templates: * **`motd.normal.top` / `motd.normal.bottom`:** List of random MOTD phrases for standard operation. * **`versionname.hover`:** Lines of text to display inside the interactive player list hover box. * **`messages.maintenance.kick`:** Multi-line formatted kick screens for non-whitelisted connections. *Note: Requires **(https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/protocollib.1997/)** to be installed on your Bukkit/Spigot server instance.*
