random-motd
This mod randomizes the Message of the Day.
You can change what messages are randomized via the "message-list" file in the "random-motd" folder in the config folder.
You can change how often you want the message to be updated via the "randomize-message-timer"
It defaults to changing the MOTD every minute.
Random MOTD does support basic formatting using the offical/vanilla format.
If server properties has pause-when-empty-seconds greater than 0. When the server pauses it will stop updating the MOTD.
Set pause-when-empty-seconds to 0 if you want the MOTD to always be changed.
