How to Change the Message on The Minecraft Server List?


One of the first things gamers get to view when getting ready to join a Minecraft server is the small description text on the server. The MOTD (Message of the Day) is a text that usually offers a bit of information about the server, such as Survival Hunger Games, Minigames Server, Down for Maintenance, and so on. The default text is ‘New Minecraft Server’, but you can change it anytime you want.


First, you will need to make the MOTD and then set it on your server.


Making MOTD:


  • Head to the mctools website or any other such website available.

  • In the first field, you can type the format of the MOTD as you want it to be.

  • Once you make the MOTD, locate the ‘For the server. properties’ file and copy the text.

Setting the MOTD: (for Spigot, Vanilla, Forge, and other regular types of servers)


  • Head to the Apex Panel and stop the server.

  • To the left of the panel click on ‘Config Files’, then click on Server Settings.

  • After that locate Message of the Day and paste the text from mctools.

  • Then scroll to the bottom and click on ‘Save’. Then head back to the main game panel page.

  • And then start the server back up.

We hope that by following these steps you were able to change the message on Minecraft’s servers!
