Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about professional server formatting

To make your server truly stand out on the global server list, utilize our Custom RGB Gradients and bold formatting options. Strategic use of vibrant colors and clear typography builds immediate trust and curiosity, creating a high-impact first impression that significantly increases player click-through rates. Remember, your MOTD is your digital storefront—make it bold and unique!

Yes, our tools are fully compatible with all major Minecraft platforms and plugins. We provide direct export formats for EssentialsX, DeluxeMenus, TAB, CMI, and any other Adventure-based or legacy-based plugins. Whether you are running a Paper, Velocity, or BungeeCord network, our generated codes will drop right into your configuration files without any issues.

Absolutely! Minecraft supports full RGB HEX colors from versions 1.16 through 1.21+. Our designer automatically detects your color choices and generates the correct Legacy HEX format (§x§R§R§G§G§B§B) for older systems while maintaining modern MiniMessage tags for Velocity and Paper. This ensures your colors look stunning and consistent across all client versions.

Sharing your designs with your development team is effortless thanks to our Smart Share Link technology. By compressing your entire design state into a single, extremely short URL (using URL-safe Base64), we provide a permanent link that never expires and requires no database. It’s the fastest way to collaborate on server branding without any technical overhead.

Admins' High-Traffic Strategy

"The most successful servers use the first line for branding and the second line for an 'Active Event' or 'Call to Action'. Regularly updating your L2 message to mention 'New Spawn', 'Season 6', or 'Double XP Weekend' can significantly increase player click-through rates and server growth."
