For join_messages, leave_messages, and first_join_messages, if there is more than one message, it picks a random one.
In all above message examples, <player> will be replaced with the player's name. Additionally, in motd, <timestamp>,
<player_count>, and <max_players> will be replaced with the current UTC time in the specified format, the number of players online,
and the maximum number of players respectively.
All messages may use MiniMessage.
