The plugin was rewritten from the ground up, optimizing all playerdata handling. This rewrite also includes a new mechanic called the "welcomechain":

When a player joins for the first time, they get added to the welcomechain and the system triggers a display for anyone that has this toggled on. During this time, anyone can participate by typing /greet which will a) trigger a default message if non has been set by that player b) trigger a custom message from that player's playerdatafile.

Both the initial participation in /greet and the compeltion of a chain have individually configurable rewards.

The plugin allows the use of many internal placeholders within messages, please referr to the default messages.yml and config.yml files.

For custom greet messages:

Using <player> or %player% will replace this with the name of the last-joined newjoin player. Use this to create messages like:

/greetingsmanager mygreet Yoo, what's good <new_player>! Hope you enjoy your stay on our server!
