Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Minecraft MOTD and how do I use this generator?
A MOTD (Message of the Day) is the two-line description shown next to your server in a player's server list. Type your text in the fields above, add color and formatting with the buttons, watch the live preview, and copy the finished code into your server.properties file.
Is this Minecraft MOTD generator free?
Yes, the MOTD generator is completely free with no sign-up required. Design your MOTD, copy the code, and paste it into your server at no cost.
Where do I paste the MOTD code on my Minecraft server?
Paste the copied code into the motd line of your server.properties file and restart the server. On the ValueGameNode control panel you can edit server.properties right in your browser and restart with one click.
Does the MOTD work on both Java and Bedrock servers?
Yes, the color and formatting codes work on both Minecraft Java and Bedrock. ValueGameNode supports both editions, so you can use the same MOTD styling on either server.
