You may want to add some colour to your motd (the message that displays in the server selection list). This guide will walk you through the steps to change it.
How to Change Your MotD
- Log into Multicraft and select the server you want to modify.
- Select
Server Configuration
from the menu on the left. - Find the
Server Message (MOTD)
entry and this is what you will want to change. - To change the colour, you need to use a section sign (
§
), this is frequently very hard to type, so you can replace it with\u00A7
and it will work the same. To know how to tell the game what colour you want, go to the next section about what colours there are available</a >.
