MaintenanceMOTD - The BEST FREE MOTD plugin you have ever se

THIS PLUGIN DOES NOT SUPPORT VELOCITY YET

NOTE:
If you run this plugin on Spigot 1.7 it does not access ProtocolLib on that version. Therefore, it won't have Custom Player Count / Custom Hover over Player Count / Fake Players. (I deactivated it because I could not find a ProtocolLib version that works on 1.7. Therefore, I could not test it. If someone finds a version of ProtocolLib that works on 1.7 please message me. Thanks!)

NOTE 2:
To access HEX colors, you need Spigot/Paper 1.13+ OR BungeeCord/Waterfall 1.16+! It works on all versions of Spigot/Paper/BungeeCord/Waterfall!

Please leave a review if you liked this plugin! Thank you!

MaintenanceMOTD (IMO this is a Premium tier plugin)

• Description

MaintenanceMOTD is one of the best free MOTD plugins you have ever seen. It is fully customizable, and I really mean it! You have configs for everything that the plugin does, this also includes MESSAGES! In addition to that it supports HEX COLORS! You also have a special MOTD for when you enter Maintenance Mode!

• Color codes
  • Important note: this plugin usually does not use the normal color codes, but it uses MiniMessage!
  • It uses normal color codes only for PlayerCounts and Hover over PlayerCount(because I think ProtocolLib does not support it yet)
• Features
  • Fully Customizable!
  • Customizable Messages
  • Customizable MOTD
  • Customizable MaxPlayers
  • Customizable MOTD for Maintenance
  • Supports RANDOM MOTDS
  • Almost everything can be changed through commands! (the only thing that can not be changed through commands is the content of the RANDOM MOTDS/PlayerCounts/Hovers over PlayerCount, but the default one can be changed)
  • You can set a time for the Maintenance and Reason! (After the time finishes the Maintenance mode is turned off)
  • Kick players that do not have permission when Maintenance Mode is turned ON
  • Customizable Kick Messages
  • Customizable time units
  • Support auto-complete commands
  • If Custom Player Count is active, it solves the issue with "and x more..." when hovering
  • It also supports GRADIENTS
  • If you have ProtocolLib(it is not required for BungeeCord version) you will have access to the following features:
    • Customizable PlayerCount
    • Customizable Hover over PlayerCount
    • Customizable FakePlayers(if Hover over PlayerCount is deactivated it will add them into the hover player list)
    • Supports RANDOM PlayerCounts and RANDOM Hovers over PlayerCount
  • If you have PlaceholderAPI(it is not required for BungeeCord version) you can use the placeholders provided by it
  • Customizable Icons for Maintenance Mode and Normal Mode
  • The Icons can be randomly cycled
  • Downscaling gradients and rainbow if the server version is less than 1.13(1.8->1.12)
  • Scaling gradients and rainbow if the server version is higher than 1.12(1.13->1.20)
  • Added support for these placeholders: %time%, %date%, %online%, %max%, %remain%, %for%
  • There could be more features but I do not remember them if there are.
