Welcome Message Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Custom Join Messages for Servers & Worlds

Welcome Message Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) is a lightweight and customizable server-side utility mod that displays personalized messages whenever a player joins your Minecraft world. Developed by Serilum, this mod is ideal for both small multiplayer communities and larger dedicated servers looking to share essential information such as Discord links, server rules, or greetings directly through the in-game chat without relying on external plugins or command blocks.

With support for text formatting, clickable URLs, and Minecraft’s native color system, this mod helps you create a clean and friendly onboarding experience for every player who logs in.

Features:

• Up to 3 Custom Welcome Messages
  Configure up to three messages, each with its own:
  • Text
  • Chat color (from Minecraft’s 16 standard colors)
  • Optional clickable URL
• Clickable Hyperlinks
  You can link to external resources like:
  • Your server’s Discord
  • Rules page
  • Website, store, or donation link
• Blank Line for Clarity
  The mod adds a blank line before the first message, keeping your welcome content clean and separate from default system chat spam.
• Configurable for Any Environment
  By default, messages are shown only on dedicated servers, but this can be toggled to also display in singleplayer or LAN worlds.
• Simple Configuration File
  No commands or in-game setup required. Just edit the mod’s config file to customize messages and behavior.
• Compatible with All Major Loaders
  Works with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt—making it easy to integrate into any modpack or server setup.
