OmegaWelcome — Simple, Lightweight Welcome Messages
Tired of clunky welcome plugins with 47 dependencies, databases, and config files
that look like they came from NASA? OmegaWelcome does one thing and does it well:
sends a customizable welcome message when a player joins your server.
That's it. No bloat, no gimmicks, no learning curve.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Configurable welcome message — Customize every line
Multi-line support — Send as many lines as you want
Color codes — Full & color code support (&a, &b, &l, &o, &k, etc.)
Placeholder support — %player% is replaced with the player's name
Lightweight — Zero external dependencies
No database — Pure config-based, nothing to set up
No commands — Runs automatically on join
No permissions — Nothing to manage
Beginner friendly — One config file, one section, done

- "&a&lWelcome &7%player%"
- "&aNeed support but no staff are online?"
