Updating Your Minecraft MOTD
The MOTD on a Minecraft server is a public, short message that appears in the Minecraft client when users are attempting to join the server. It's generally a good idea that this includes your server's name, so users are sure they are connecting to the right location.
Updating the MOTD
The quickest way to update your server's MOTD is via the Nodecraft Pro Panel. From within the the panel, access the Game Settings section, and then head to the Basic Settings tab. On this tab, you will find a textbox noted as "MOTD", which will allow you to enter and customize the MOTD to your liking.
Alternatively, you can edit the server.properties
file directly, either via the Server Files within the panel or by using your favorite FTP client. The applicable setting within this file is simply motd
.
