Reloads config.yml without restarting the server or plugin.

If the name matches a player who is currently online, PlaceholderAPI placeholders resolve for the real player too.

Test Many

/joinleave testmany

Sends only the command sender a simulation of 30 join messages followed by 30 leave messages.

Uses the fictional names from test.names in the config. This is useful for testing how the messages look under load.

Permission: joinlfielore.test

Placeholders

• %player% — The player's name.
• PlaceholderAPI placeholders — Supported when PlaceholderAPI is installed.

Silent

Players with the following permission will not have their join/leave messages shown to anyone:
