Simple Join Message
Latest Version: 1.1
Description
Simple Join Message is a lightweight Bukkit/Spigot plugin designed to enhance player experience by sending a customizable welcome message whenever a player joins the server. Striving to be as small as possible, this plugin adds minimal overhead while providing essential functionality for server owners. It supports gradient and colorful messages using Minecraft's color codes (e.g., &a for green, &c for red). For any questions or support, please reach out to me on discord.
