Module: Connection Messages - Module ID: connection-messages

Introduction

The Connection Messages module handles changing the messages sent to clients when players join and leave the server.

Like the Chat module, Connection Messages work best when coupled with a permission plugin that supports options.

Configuration

In the main.conf file, connection-messages section, the following options are available:

  • modify-login-message: if true, the standard login message sent to server chat will be replaced with the contents of login-message
  • modify-logout-message: if true, the standard logout/disconnect message sent to server chat will be replaced with the contents of logout-message
  • show-first-login-message: if true, an extra message will be sent to chat when a player joins the server for the first time. This message is defined in first-login-message.
  • disable-with-permission: if true, players with the nucleus.connectionmessages.disable will not trigger a join or quit message.

The messages support the tokens available to the Chat module.

  • {{name}}: The player’s name
  • {{displayname}}: The player’s set display name. Usually, this is the users nickname if they have one, or their in-game name otherwise.
  • {{prefix}}: The player’s prefix tag, if one is set in the permission plugin.
  • {{suffix}}: The player’s suffix tag, if one is set in the permission plugin.

The messages also support Minecraft colour codes, replacing § with &.

If you wish to hide connection messages, turn the relevant “modify” option to true, and set the message to a blank string.
