Function

WelcomeBack is in early stages of development. Currently, when a player joins a server, along with the normal message ("Player joined the game"), it will also broadcast:

"[Server] Welcome Back, Player"

Here is an example of the message displayed when a user joins the game

Benefits

WelcomeBack allows staff members and other players to know who is entering the game faster, as the bright purple text stands out, as opposed to the default yellow text. It also brightens up the chat and makes it more colorful, rather than users just seeing the bland default text colors. WelcomeBack even displays colored text to console, so owners can easily spot when a player joins the game while monitoring the server via console. In the future, WelcomeBack will even help users in identifying the rank of a player as soon as they enter the game, instead of having to wait for them to talk to see what rank they are. Now, there is vanishnopacket support, when a user joins vanished, the usual Welcome Back message will not be displayed.

Future Plans

• Customizable Messages when a player enters the game.
• Message support for when a player joins a server for the first time.
• Support for different variables, such as a player's rank.

Installation

Installing WelcomeBack is pretty easy! Just download WelcomeBack.jar and drop it into your plugins folder, then start the server. There is no need for excess folders or other files as of right now.
