Welcome++ v1.8.0 – "The Prime Rewrite"

New Features

- Added /leave <message> command to customize quit messages - Added /fakename <name> to spoof display name - Added /resetname to revert spoofing - Added /head <player> to give any player's head (with display name) - & color codes and {player} placeholder now fully supported in both join & leave messages

Smarter Behavior

- {player} is now replaced live during join/quit — not saved statically - Messages are shown using /say so they blend into vanilla chat cleanly

Compatibility

- Supports Minecraft 1.13.x to 1.21.x+ - Works on cracked servers (SkinsRestorer integration ready) - ProtocolLib support added (for future enhancements)

Bugfixes

- Fixed bug where join/leave messages only worked for the player who last ran the command - Config properly saves and reloads welcome-message and leave-message values --- Welcome++ v1.8.0 is a major upgrade — your server’s first impression just got an upgrade

Welcome++ v1.7.0

New Features

- Added /fakename <name> command to spoof your display and tablist name. - Added /resetname command to restore your original player name. - Added /head <player> command to give any player's head (now works with cracked players too).

Integrations

- ProtocolLib support added for enhanced name/tag handling. - SkinsRestorer dependency included (for TLauncher/fake players compatibility in future versions).

Configurable Join/Leave Messages

- You can now set custom join and leave messages using: - /welcome <message> - /leave <message>

Compatibility

- Full support for Minecraft versions 1.13.x – 1.21.x - Built on Java 17

Upcoming Features

- TLauncher skin restoration support - Tablist skin + name sync

Welcome++ 1.6.0

I cooked hard on this update. Here's what you're getting: ---

Compatibility

- One single .jar supports Minecraft 1.13.x to 1.21.x. - Runs on Spigot, Paper, Purpur, etc. all the way up. - TLauncher (cracked) players are supported — yes, even heads work for them. ---

New Features

#### Fakename System - /fakename <name> – Change your display name + tab name. - /resetname – Reset back to your real name. - Full support for colored names and nick-like spoofing. #### Player Heads - /head <player> – Gives you the player head, including cracked/TLauncher usernames. #### Welcome / Leave Customization - /welcome <message> – Set your own join message (supports {player}). - /leave <message> – Set leave message. - Uses color codes: &a, §c, etc. ---

Under the Hood

- ProtocolLib is automatically detected and initialized. No config required. - player.setDisplayName() + setPlayerListName() used properly. - SkullOwner command logic works with usernames, even cracked ones. ---

Permissions

- welcome.admin — For setting welcome/leave and giving heads. - welcome.fakename — For changing your name. --- All tested, all working. Built with love by me, Prime More coming soon... or not. Depends on my mood.

Welcome++ v1.5.10

What I Added:

- /head <player> command — lets you grab any player’s head, even cracked ones. You're welcome. - Support for Minecraft 1.13.x → 1.21.x. No excuses, this plugin's built for the whole squad. - I rewrote and fixed the fakename system using ProtocolLib properly. - Fully remapped and bundled ProtocolLib inside the JAR. No setup headaches. Just drop and go. - Added welcome.head permission node.

Bug Fixes & Nerd Stuff:

- Fixed WrappedChatComponent crashing on 1.21.1. - Avoided usage of legacy serializers that break newer Minecraft versions. - Cleaned up the plugin YAML and onCommand logic. - Made sure resetname and fakename won’t bork your server. - Players who don't have ProtocolLib installed — it still runs fine, it’s shaded now.

Known Issues:

- Name changes might not reflect immediately on tablist if you’re using weird forks. - Skin changing not yet implemented. This only affects display names for now. --- This version made the plugin go from 7KB of sadness to 9MB of pure power. That's growth. – Prime (aka The Guy Who Built This)

WelcomePlugin Changelog

v1.5.0 — "The Protocol Era"

Release Date: August 2, 2025 Author: Prime (aka the goat ) ---

Highlights

- ProtocolLib now bundled into the JAR! - Fully working /fakename and /resetname - Customizable join/leave messages - /head <player> command to spawn skulls - Works on cracked servers - Supports Minecraft 1.13.x to 1.21.x ---

New Features

- /welcome <message>: Sets a custom join message ({player} placeholder supported). - /leave <message>: Sets a custom leave message. - /fakename <name>: Updates your tablist name using ProtocolLib. Fully dynamic. - /resetname: Resets your name to the original. - /head <player>: Instantly gives you that player's head. Offline players supported. ---

Tech Upgrades

- ProtocolLib 5.0.0 is now shaded into the jar, so you don't need to install it separately. - Java 17 compatibility. - Fully compatible with Spigot, Paper, Purpur. - Works on 1.13.x – 1.21.x. ---

Errors I Fixed

- Maven crying about missing ProtocolLib: Bundled it directly. - `PlayerInfoData` class not found: Fixed import from com.comphenix.protocol.wrappers. - Method `getPlayerList()` not found: Switched to getPlayerInfoDataLists().write(...). - Unnecessary `InvocationTargetException`: Removed unused catch block. ---

File Size

- 7 KB (v1.4.0) → 9 MB (v1.5.0) - Why? Because this jar is now fully standalone with ProtocolLib inside. ---

Tested On

- Cracked servers - FalixNodes - Minecraft versions: 1.13.x → 1.21.x ---

Final Thoughts

This ain't just a plugin. It's a drop-in beast that handles name spoofing, custom messages, and head spawning — all in one jar. No setup. No configs. Just /plug and /play. Built different. — Prime
