- MiniMessage support — colors, gradients, and formatting in every message
- Random messages — set a list and each event picks one at random
- Placeholders —
<display_name>,<name>,<online>,<max>,<world> - Hide vanilla messages entirely for a silent join/leave
- Instant config reload with
/joinmessages reload
