Frequently asked questions

Can I use color codes in my MOTD or do I need RGB?
Yes, the plugin supports both legacy color codes and modern RGB colors. You can use simple color codes like `&c` for red, or define custom RGB values for more precise control over your MOTD appearance.
What placeholders can I use to show live server info in the MOTD?
Common placeholders include player count, max players, server status, and TPS. Check the plugin's documentation or config file for the full list of available placeholders your version supports.
Why isn't my gradient MOTD showing colors correctly?
Ensure your client supports RGB colors (most modern versions do) and that your gradient syntax is correct in the config file. Some older clients may not display gradients—test with a modern launcher to confirm the gradient is working server-side.
