Newfies MOTD Mod is a Vintage Story mod by Newfie. Newfies MOTD Mod adds a customizable server message window with VTML formatting, clickable links, display rules, and a configurable link button.
Why this mod is worth installing
It is useful for server owners who need one place for rules, announcements, and community links without asking players to edit client files.
What Newfies MOTD Mod adds
The mod replaces a plain server greeting with a structured MOTD window. Administrators can use VTML to add headings, colors, bold and italic text, while scrolling keeps longer announcements inside the interface.
Content can be supplied as separate lines or as one block, and the /motd command provides a direct way to open the message. A configurable center button can point players to a community page, rules, or another chosen URL.
Display controls let the server show the MOTD on every join, once per session, or once per version. Players can also use a “do not show again” option, with the preference handled per player.
The configuration is generated automatically and supports live reloading, making it practical to update announcements without requiring client-side edits.
