The MOTD (Message of the Day) is the message that appears in the server list in the game. Customizing it is a great way to make your server stand out.
Here's how to easily change it from the control panel:
Steps to Change the MOTD
-
Access your server's control panel.
-
Go to the "File Manager" section.
-
Open the
server.propertiesfile. -
Look for the line that starts with
motd=. By default, it usually says:motd=A Minecraft Server -
Replace that text with the message you want to display. You can use colors and special characters if you like.
-
Click "Save" to apply the changes.
-
Finally, restart your server so the new MOTD displays correctly.
