EaglerMOTD
EaglerMOTD is a plugin that adds support for animated and/or randomized MOTDs to EaglercraftXServer.
This plugin is fully compatible with your config files from the previous two revisions of EaglerMOTD, with the exception of the random and shuffle options in messages.json. These were eliminated to allow the code to be better optimized, and because its already possible to randomize what MOTD the plugin displays through different means.
This plugin can be installed on any Spigot, BungeeCord, or Velocity server that runs EaglercraftXServer.
Configuration
Please consult the README of the EaglerXBungee/EaglerXVelocity version of EaglerMOTD for more information on the config file format: https://github.com/lax1dude/eaglercraft-motd-1.8/blob/main/README.md
Do not forget that random and shuffle are no longer supported.
