MultiMOTD

MultiMOTD – Advanced MOTD Management Made Simple

MultiMOTD is a modern, lightweight plugin that allows server owners to manage multiple server MOTDs from a single plugin. Each MOTD can be configured independently, previewed in-game, and switched instantly without restarting the server.

Designed for modern Minecraft versions, MultiMOTD supports gradients, hex colors, animations, and placeholders while remaining fast, stable, and easy to use.
