How it works
With this server side mod, you can customize all of your Minecraft server's join and leave messages.
It supports...
- Minecraft colour codes (e.g.
&lfor bold,&efor yellow) - HEX colour codes (usage: &#RRGGBB in messages)
- in-game customization using commands or server-side configuration using the
betterjoinmessages.jsonfile - many placeholders for using in the custom messages (more down below)
- global and local broadcasting in a configurable distance
- enable, disable and customize first-time join messages, greet new players and tell everyone else with a special message the first time they join, then switch to your regular join message afterward
Configuration
The config file is located at config/betterjoinmessages.json (fabric).
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
joinMessage | Custom message sent when players join | &e{player} joined the game |
leaveMessage | Custom message sent when players leave | &e{player} left the game |
firstJoinMessage | Custom message sent when a player joins the server for the first time | §a{player} joined the game for the first time!" |
firstJoinEnabled | Enables or disables the first-time-join message | true |
sendGlobal | Determines whether the messages should be visible global | true |
distance | Only players within this range can see the messages if sendGlobal is set to false | 50.0 |
Leave messages empty or set them to whitespace to disable broadcasts completely.

You can customize everything through in-game commands as followed:

**What's new in 1.3.0 + 26.x?**
Well, a pretty big update with lots of new features. Available for 26.x and 1.21.x!
Features
- Saves UUID and player name of seen players deeper in the code which fixes several problems (is backward-compatible).
- Added new commands:
1. `/bjm seenplayersReset` which resets all seen players
2. `/bjm seenplayersReset <playername|UUID>` which resets only specific players
- If messages are set to empty, no message will be sent at all instead of a complete empty chat message.
- `/bjm firstjoin <message> / <true|false` is now seperated into `/bjm firstjoin <message>` and `/bjm firstjoinToggle <true|false>`
- real RGB Hex-colours are now supported in config (usage: `&#RRGGBB`).
- added new placeholders for the messages:
1. `{player}` which is the clear minecraft-account name
2. `{displayname}` which is the formatted display name
3. `{onlineplayer}` which is the current online player count
4. `{maxplayers}` / `{max_players}` which are the max. server slots
5. `{uniqueplayers}` which is the number of how many players have ever joined the server
- added new admin `/bjm status` command which shows a formatted overview over the current config in-game.
Optimizations
- Optimized a Mixin to a more stable one in order to improve compatibility with other mods.

**What's new in 1.1.0?**
- You can now customize the config without leaving the game! This means there are brand new commands for editing and reloading. Here is the list:
> `/bjm join <message>`
>
> `/bjm leave <message>`
>
> `/bjm firstjoin <message>`
>
> `/bjm global <true|false>`
>
> `/bjm distance <blocks>`
>
> `/bjm reload`
- Using colour codes has been improved in various ways! You can now also use the text editor codes (such as `&l` for **bold text**) and colours and other codes are able to stack up. Use `&r` for resetting to normal text. Command editing also supports these codes.
