🏰 xMotd-VS
xMotd-VS is a high-performance Velocity proxy plugin designed to handle your server's MOTD with extreme efficiency. It features full Hex color support, automatic centering, smart caching, and a complete Maintenance System.
🚀 Key Features
- 🛡️ Maintenance Mode: Secure your server with one command. Automatically changes the MOTD, Icon, and masks the version text (e.g., "⚠ Maintenance") to hide the player count.
- 🖼️ Random Icons: Drop multiple
.pngimages in theiconsfolder, and the plugin will display a random one on every ping. - ⏳ Smart Countdowns: Use placeholders like
%countdown_2026_01_01_12_00%for live event timers. - 🎨 Full RGB/Hex Support: Use codes like
&#FF0000for vibrant gradients and colors. - 📏 Auto-Centering: The plugin mathematically calculates the text width to center your MOTD perfectly on any resolution.
- ⚡ Zero-Lag Caching: Colors and formatting are pre-calculated in memory. The plugin serves the MOTD instantly from RAM.
- 👥 Custom Hover Sample: Customize the player list shown when hovering over the connection bars.
