Examples
Setup
The setup of the plugin is as simple as it can be, put the plugin jar-file into your plugins folder, either for your bungeecord or your spigot/paper server, the plugin works for both!
After that you can add an motd in the config-file along with the name of an icon from the "Servericons" folder, save the file and that's it - the system updates by itself!
If you want the same icon to be used across all your fancy MOTDs, you can choose to just put the same icon-name for all of them.
Warning: the icons in the "Servericons" folder has to be PNGs and must be 64x64.

zCustomMOTD offers a super simple way of creating your very own custom MOTD for your server, bungeecord or spigot/paper all in the same jar!
Features
- Random MOTD: You can add multiple MOTDs via the config file that'll be chosen at random when the player pings the server in their server list. Meaning you don't have to just choose one MOTD, you can have as many as you'd like and have them shown to your players randomly!
- Centered lines: A small but much needed feature, you can have the lines in your MOTD centered. Note: This can be slightly off with the use of resourcepacks that have their own fonts.
- Servericon: Get full control over how your server looks on the serverlist by adding an icon to your server
