Description from the author on Modrinth

HelloAndWelcome is a simple, lightweight, and effective plugin for adding a personalized touch to your Minecraft server. This plugin sends a welcome message to every player who joins the server. The welcome message is configurable through a user-friendly config.yml file, where you can easily adjust the message text that will be displayed.

Unlike other plugins that can complicate things with unnecessary features or performance-draining elements, HelloAndWelcome focuses on simplicity and efficiency. It doesn’t support any color formatting or special text styles—just plain, raw text that appears exactly as you’ve set it in the configuration.

Because of its minimalistic design, HelloAndWelcome is an extremely lightweight plugin, making it an ideal choice for server owners who are looking to add a little extra personalization without burdening their server’s performance.
