A Paper/Spigot/Folia plugin that integrates your Minecraft server with the Feather client. It adds Discord Rich Presence with a live player count, a custom server-list background for Feather users, and a configurable join message when a Feather player connects.
Features
- Discord Rich Presence — shows your server in a player's Discord status, with a
live
online/maxplayer count that updates automatically. - Custom server-list background — display a PNG background for players browsing your server in the Feather client.
- Feather join message — broadcast a configurable message when a player joins using Feather, optionally gated behind a permission.
- Live updates — presence refreshes on a 5-second timer and immediately on player join/leave.
Requirements
- Paper, Spigot, or Folia 1.21+ (the plugin uses Folia's region
schedulers and declares
folia-supported, so it runs natively on all three) - Feather Server API
Installation

FeatherUtils.jarinto your server'splugins/folder. - Add the Feather Server API jar to
plugins/as well (FeatherUtils depends on it). - Start or restart the server to generate the default config.
