Details
Controls how your server looks in the Minecraft server list: MOTD, icon, player count and hover text, on a proxy or a single server.
NullBrand answers server list pings with your own MOTD profiles, icon and player count text. You can switch profiles with a command, rotate them on a timer or show a maintenance profile. It is one small jar that runs on Velocity, BungeeCord, Paper, Spigot and Folia, and it only does work when someone pings your server.
Features
- MOTD profiles. Several named profiles; pick the active one with a command.
- Colours.
&codes and hex colours everywhere, plus MiniMessage gradients on Velocity and Paper. - Server icon. A 64 by 64 PNG, set globally or per profile.
- Hover text and player count. Hover lines, an optional fake online count and a custom maximum.
- Animations and rotation. Animated MOTD frames and profiles that switch on a timer.
- Maintenance profile. One command shows a maintenance MOTD. It only changes the server list; it does not block logins.
- Ping cooldown. Repeated pings from one IP within 500 ms are left alone.
- Placeholders such as
%online%,%time%and%profile%.
Supported platforms
- Velocity and Paper: every feature (tested on Velocity 4.2.0 and Paper 26.3).
- BungeeCord: every feature except MiniMessage (tested on build 2104).
