JoinActions | Make Every Join Count ⭐

Make each join count
JoinActions gives you two ordered action lists: one runs whenever a player joins, and the other runs only on their first join. Welcome a returning player quietly, announce someone new to the server, or run a starter command for new players.

What can an action do?

• Send a message to the joining player
• Broadcast a message to the server
• Run a command as console
• Run a command as the player
• Play a sound for the joining player

You can also turn off Minecraft's normal join message if you want your own broadcast to take its place.

Example config
Actions run in the order you list them. On a first join, the every-join actions run before the first-join actions. Use <player>, <uuid>, and <world> in messages and commands. Messages and broadcasts support MiniMessage, including hex colors and gradients. Existing & color codes still work in messages without MiniMessage tags. If PlaceholderAPI is installed, its placeholders work too; it is not required.

Preview
