Using your MOTD
- Copy the whole
motd=line intoserver.propertiesand restart the server. - Switch the Code output to
\u00A7if your file won’t accept the § symbol directly. - Hex colors don’t work in a vanilla MOTD — stick to the 16 named colors unless you run a proxy like BungeeCord that sends them.
- An MOTD is two short lines, so keep it brief.
