How to Configure this plugin
Formatting
You can use legacy color codes and MiniMessage format. You can create gradient colors, hex colors, and more! Please note: MiniMessage format will NOT work for legacy versions (1.8-1.13).
Maintenance
Countdown
To use this system is very simple: use our built-in placeholder, which can be customized according to your needs: %server_countdown_YY.MM.DD.hh.mm.ss_01.12.2025%. The format will be displayed as 0y, 10m, 2d, 4h, 59m, 25s.
To configure this plugin and add per-version MOTDs to your server, visit to find protocol numbers. After finding your protocol numbers, copy and paste the old MOTD examples or edit the current one. Set the minProtocol-maxProtocol and configure the first line, second line, and favicon. To add favicons, simply drag and drop your image into the plugin's folder.
How does this work? Simply turn on maintenance using the plugin by , and our plugin will prioritize displaying the MOTD.
After the format, add a dash (-) and follow it with the date you want it to count down to. If you want to specify the exact time on that day, simply add the hour and minute after the year and date. For example: %server_countdown_YY.MM.DD.hh.mm.ss_01.12.2025.19.00%. Here, 19.00 corresponds to 7 PM. For more information, visit website or ask for assistance in our server.
