# Simple Join Message<\/p>\n

**Latest Version**: 1.1<\/p>\n

## Description
\nSimple Join Message is a lightweight Bukkit\/Spigot plugin designed to enhance player experience by sending a customizable welcome message whenever a player joins the server. Striving to be as small as possible, this plugin adds minimal overhead while providing essential functionality for server owners. It supports gradient and colorful messages using Minecraft’s color codes (e.g., `&a` for green, `&c` for red). For any questions or support, please reach out to me on discord.<\/p>\n

## Features
\n– Sends a configurable welcome message to players upon joining.
\n– Supports gradient and colorful characters using Minecraft color codes.
\n– Easy to set up with a simple configuration file.
\n– Extremely lightweight, minimizing impact on server performance.<\/p>\n

## Installation
\n1. Download the plugin JAR file.
\n2. Place the JAR file into the `plugins` folder of your Bukkit\/Spigot server.
\n3. Start the server; the plugin will generate a `config.yml` file for message customization.
\n4. Edit `config.yml` to set your preferred welcome message.<\/p>\n

## Configuration
\nModify the `welcome-message` entry in `config.yml` to personalize your greeting.<\/p>\n
