EasyMOTD Plugin Update

What is EasyMOTD?

EasyMOTD is a lightweight and customizable plugin for BungeeCord servers, designed to dynamically display welcome messages (MOTD) in the Minecraft server list. It also supports a hover message with useful information like your website or Discord link.



✨ What's New in This Update

✅ Automatic config.yml Generation

• On first launch, the plugin automatically creates a config.yml file with a complete and well-commented example.
• This makes setup easier for server admins—no need to create the file manually.

️ Improved Configuration Structure

• Supports multiple random MOTDs (motd1, motd2, etc.).
• Hex color codes (<#FFA500>) are supported for Minecraft 1.16+.
• Hover section can be enabled to show custom lines when players hover over the server in their list.

Hot Reloading

• Added /reloadmotd command to reload the configuration without restarting the server.
• Perfect for testing changes to your config.yml instantly.

Clean and Optimized Codebase

• Clear separation between the main class (EasyMOTD) and the event handler (MOTDListener).
• Uses SnakeYAML for efficient YAML parsing.
• Improved error handling to prevent crashes from malformed configuration files.

Example Configuration
