Better MOTD is a lightweight Paper plugin that transforms how a Minecraft server appears in the multiplayer list. It lets administrators create dynamic MOTDs with MiniMessage, HEX colors, gradients, formatting, and animated frames, while assigning custom PNG icons to different presets.
Designed for simplicity and low overhead, it uses no external dependencies and keeps server list pings efficient. Presets can be selected randomly, weighted, or persistently by IP, with placeholders for online players and other details. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for polished server branding without affecting gameplay performance.
