Create a Clear Minecraft Server List Message
The server list MOTD is the short message players see beneath your server name in Minecraft. Use the two-line editor to add a welcome message, server mode, community details, or event announcement.
Minecraft color codes begin with an ampersand in this editor. The copy button produces the server.properties value using Minecraft's section-sign formatting. You can optionally upload a square 64 by 64 image to preview a matching server icon.
