FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common questions about the MOTD Creator tool

What is a Minecraft MOTD?

MOTD stands for "Message of the Day" and is the description players see when they view your server in their multiplayer server list. A well-designed MOTD attracts more players and makes your server stand out.

How do I add the MOTD to my server?

Copy the generated code and paste it into your server.properties file, replacing the existing "motd=" line. Save the file and restart your server for the changes to take effect.

Can I use special characters in my MOTD?

Yes! You can use any Unicode characters in your MOTD. Our tool supports all standard characters, emojis, and special symbols that Minecraft allows.

Why isn't my MOTD showing colors?

Make sure you've copied the entire code including the § symbols. Also ensure your server.properties file is saved with UTF-8 encoding and you've restarted your server after making changes.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes! This tool is completely free with no signup required. You can use it as many times as you want to create and update your server MOTD.

What Minecraft versions support MOTDs?

All Minecraft Java Edition versions support MOTDs with color codes. However, some older versions may have limited color code support. The tool works best with Minecraft 1.7 and newer.

Can I use this for Bedrock Edition?

This tool is designed for Java Edition servers. Bedrock Edition uses a different MOTD format in the server.properties file, though basic text without formatting codes will still work.

How long can my MOTD be?

Each line can be up to 59 characters including color codes. The tool supports two lines which is the standard for Minecraft server MOTDs. Keep it concise and eye-catching!
