📝 Minecraft MOTD Generator – Customize Your Server’s First Impression
The Minecraft MOTD Generator by GalaxyTool is a feature-rich, intuitive, and beautifully designed tool created to help Minecraft server owners, developers, and network managers create the perfect Message of the Day (MOTD). This is the message that appears under your server name in the multiplayer server list — your first impression to new players.
Whether you’re creating a fun welcome message, announcing events, or branding your server in a unique way, this tool helps you build a professional MOTD with colors, styles, and live previews — with zero coding or formatting knowledge required.
🌟 Why Your MOTD Matters
The MOTD (Message of the Day) is the first thing players see when browsing Minecraft servers. It tells them what kind of server you run, your theme, your vibe, and often why they should click “Join.” A clean, colorful, and well-formatted MOTD can mean the difference between someone joining your server — or skipping past it.
That’s why this tool is so important. It lets you build a well-designed MOTD that:
- Uses colors, gradients, and formats like bold or italic
- Is perfectly centered and spaced
- Previews exactly how it’ll look in Minecraft
- Exports the code ready to paste into
server.properties
or plugin configs

🧾 Output for Multiple Server Types
The generator provides ready-to-use MOTD code for:
- Vanilla Minecraft (
server.properties
) - Spigot & Paper (escaped
\u00A7
format) - BungeeCord (
config.yml
string output) - ServerListPlus (YAML multi-line format)
Each version is tailored with correct syntax and escape characters so you can simply copy and paste into your config.
🧩 Centering Toggle
Want your lines perfectly centered in the Minecraft multiplayer list? Just enable the “Center Lines” checkbox. This adds 24 spaces to both lines to achieve visual centering, the way Minecraft displays it.
🔐 Vanilla-Compatible Checks
The tool intelligently warns you if you’re using features unsupported by Vanilla Minecraft, such as gradients. You’ll see a visual alert letting you know when a gradient will be stripped from the output.
🔁 Max Line Enforcement
Minecraft supports a maximum of 2 lines in the MOTD. This generator ensures you don’t go over:
- Line counter tracks your usage
- Prevents adding more than 2 lines
- Warns you when your text gets auto-truncated
📋 One-Click Copy
All output fields feature Copy to Clipboard buttons, so you can paste your code into your files instantly — no manual formatting required.
📱 Mobile-Friendly
Every part of the tool scales beautifully across screen sizes. Whether you’re editing your MOTD from a desktop, laptop, or mobile device, the experience remains smooth and functional.
