LAN Welcome Message

LAN Welcome Message

A simple PaperMC plugin that sends a custom MiniMessage-formatted welcome message to players when they join the server, but only if they are connecting from a LAN (Local Area Network).

This plugin was created to share a web browser map that is only available on LAN, ensuring that only players who can access it will receive the link.
