Change the MOTD on your server
In this guide, we will show you how to change the MOTD on your Minecraft server. To help with the process, we will use tools such as MiniMessageViewer and MCTools’ MOTD Creator.
MOTD, or Message of the Day, is a message that displays in your Minecraft server list and can also be used as a form of server title. New players who input your server's IP will be presented with your MOTD in their server list.
