Welcome -----
Reward players for welcoming newcomers—with style, fairness, and full control.Allow players to welcome new players using /welcome and earn configurable rewards. The plugin supports two modes:
- Time-based: Players can welcome a new player within a set time window after they join.
- Count-based: Only a limited number of players can welcome the new player.
Code (Text):
# Set to either "time" or "count":
# - "time": Players can welcome the newest player within a time window (in seconds)
# - "count": A limited number of players (max-welcomes) can welcome the newest player
welcome-mode: "time"
welcome-time-limit-seconds: 300
max-welcomes: 3
# - "time": Players can welcome the newest player within a time window (in seconds)
# - "count": A limited number of players (max-welcomes) can welcome the newest player
welcome-mode: "time"
welcome-time-limit-seconds: 300
max-welcomes: 3
Includes /welcome reload command to update settings from the config without restarting the server.
Command Usage:
- /welcome – Welcomes the newest player on the server.
- ✅ Grants rewards based on the player's welcome position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.).
- ⛔ If the welcome window has expired or the player has already welcomed, a message will be shown and no rewards will be given.
- Permission required: welcome.use
- /welcome reload – Reloads the plugin's configuration without restarting the server.
- Permission required: welcome.reload
Plugin Prerequisites:
There are no required dependencies to run this plugin. However, if you want to reward players with items, permissions, or currency, you’ll need additional plugins (e.g., EssentialsX, Vault, LuckPerms) to handle those actions via console commands. Integrating rewards is entirely optional and fully customizable!
Installation:
Welcome is a lightweight plugin that doesn't store any player data. It comes with just the .jar file and a simple config.yml.
To install:
- Download the WELCOME.jar file (thank you!)
- Place it in your server’s /plugins folder.
- Restart your server or use a plugin loader (e.g., PlugMan).
- Edit the configuration to suit your needs.
- You're all set—enjoy!
Placeholders:
The plugin supports two placeholders:
- %newplayer% — the username of the new player being welcomed
- %player% — the player who executed the /welcome command
