The MOTD is the message shown under your server name in the Minecraft multiplayer server list.
You can use Minecraft colour codes in the MOTD. Vanilla servers use the § symbol, while Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, and many plugin-based servers can usually use & colour codes instead. See our colour code guide here: Colour Codes for Minecraft Multiplayer and Vanilla.
The \n adds a new line to the MOTD. Do not put a space after \n, or the second line can start with a space in the server list.
Edit server.properties
- Stop the server.
- Open Files in the control panel, then edit
server.properties. - Find
motd=and enter the message you want players to see. - Save the file, then start the server.
For example:
motd=§aLogicServers §fMinecraft\n§eFresh world, no griefing
