pyJoinsMessages

A lightweight Minecraft plugin for custom join and leave messages.

pyJoinsMessages lets you create clean, colored messages when players join or leave your server. You can set different messages for staff, donors, special ranks, or everyone.

Features

* Custom join and leave messages
* Unlimited message groups under join-messages
* Permission-based messages for ranks like staff, donors, nitro, and more
* Priority based on the order of groups in config.yml
* Single-line and multi-line message support
* Hex color support using &#RRGGBB or #RRGGBB
* Classic Minecraft color support using &a, &c, &l, etc.
* Optional Vault support for %prefix%
* Option to disable vanilla join/leave messages
* Reload command with /pyjoinsmessages reload

Placeholders

* %user% - player name
* %player% - player name
* %prefix% - player prefix from Vault, requires Vault and a chat/permissions plugin

If Vault is installed and a chat provider is found, the plugin will print a startup message saying that %prefix% can be used.

Configuration

Code (yml (Unknown Language)):

join-messages:
  staff:
   join-message:
     - "&8----"
     - "&#55FF55%user% joined the server"
     - "&8----"
   leave-message:
     - "&8----"
     - "&#FF5555%user% left the server"
     - "&8----"
   permission: joinmessages.staff

  nitro:
   join-message: "%user% joined the server"
   leave-message: "%user% left the server"
   permission: joinmessages.nitro

  donator:
   join-message: "%prefix% %user% joined the server"
   leave-message: "%prefix% %user% left the server"
   permission: joinmessages.donator

  default:
   join-message:
     - "&8----"
     - "%user% joined the server"
     - "&8----"
   leave-message:
     - "&8----"
     - "%user% left the server"
     - "&8----"

options:
  disable-vanilla-message: true

messages:
  reloaded: "Plugin reloaded."
 
Permissions

Give each group permission to the rank that should use that message.

Example:

Code (yml (Unknown Language)):

permission: joinmessages.donator
 
Players with joinmessages.donator will use the donor join/leave messages. If a player does not match any permission group, the plugin will use the default group.

Commands

* /pyjoinsmessages reload - reloads the config
* /joinmessages reload - alias for the same command

Notes

If you only want special messages for ranks like donors or staff, just comment out the default section. Players without a matching permission will not get a custom join/leave message.

The plugin can also disable the default yellow Minecraft join/leave messages, keeping your chat cleaner and easier to style.
