FAQ
Does it work with custom join message plugins? HNoJoinMessage clears the message at a late stage, so plugins that set a custom join or leave message will have it hidden too. Plugins that send their own separate broadcast (most welcome plugins do) are not affected.
Is there a config? No. It does one thing.
Does it need to be on the client? No. It's a server-side plugin only.
