How to Make the MOTD
The MOTD does not have to be created with mctools. We simply recommend it because it helps set the right color codes or text styles.
- Navigate to the mctools website or a similar one.
- You can type or format the MOTD whatever you want in the first field.
- After you've created the MOTD, navigate to the "For the server.properties" file and copy the text.
How to Set the MOTD
- Stop the server by going to the Apex Panel.
- Click "Config Files," then "Server Settings" on the left side of the window.
- Find "Message of the Day" and paste the text from mctools into it.
- Scroll to the bottom and press the "Save" button. Return to the main game panel page.
- Start the server again.
