Description
Requires the library mod Collective.
This mod is part of The Vanilla Experience modpack and Serilum's Customization Bundle mod.
First Join Message is a minimalistic configurable mod which sends a message to players who join a world for the first time. This can be used to create a more immersive first experience, or a more informational message with for example the rules of a server or minigame. There is also an option to broadcast a message to the whole server if a new player joins.
Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
firstJoinMessage (default = "You wake up in an unfamiliar place."): The message players will receive when they join a world for the first time. To disable, leave it empty. %s can be used in place of the player name.
