OmegaWelcome

OmegaWelcome is a lightweight welcome message plugin that greets every player who joins your server with a fully customizable, multi-line message. If you want a clean, no-nonsense way to greet newcomers — without databases, dependencies, or a dozen config files — this is it.

Features

• Multi-line welcome messages — send as many lines as you want on join

• Full color code support — use & codes (&a, &b, &l, &o, &k, etc.) in every line

• %player% placeholder — automatically replaced with the joining player's name

• Per-player delivery — only the joining player sees the message, not the whole server

• Simple one-file config — one string list is all you edit

• Zero dependencies — no Vault, no PlaceholderAPI, nothing else to install

• Zero commands and permissions — drops in and works instantly

• Extremely lightweight — one event listener, no background tasks, no lag

Default Configuration

The entire plugin is configured through a single list in config.yml:

Welcome-Message:
  - ""
  - "&a&lWelcome &7%player%"
  - "&aNeed support but no staff are online?"
  - "&aJoin the \"/discord\" for fast support"
  - ""

Add or remove lines freely — empty strings send blank lines for spacing. Every server owner can have this set up in under a minute.

Compatibility

• Works on Paper and Spigot servers

• Supports Minecraft 1.17 through 1.21.x out of the box

• Requires Java 17 or higher (on 1.16 servers, the server must also run Java 17+)

• No dependencies, no hooks, no conflicts with other plugins

Installation

1. Drop the jar into your plugins folder

2. Restart the server

3. Edit config.yml to write your own welcome message

4. Reload or restart to apply changes — done

Why OmegaWelcome?

Big welcome plugins often bring command systems, permission trees, GUIs, and databases you'll never use. OmegaWelcome does exactly one thing — send a welcome message on join — and does it with near-zero overhead. Perfect for survival, SMP, and any server that just wants a friendly greeting that works.
