### A friendly way to roll out the welcome mat for your players!<\/p>\n

**WelcomeMat** is a lightweight, powerful plugin that enhances your server’s welcome experience. It provides customizable join\/leave messages, titles, animations, and sounds to make players feel at home on every login.<\/p>\n

![Welcoming Splash](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/4ac5440762e60ab9c3e911779b335b336f1e8559.png)<\/p>\n

## \ud83c\udf89 What’s New!<\/p>\n

### Version 1.3.1 (Latest)
\n– \ud83c\udf43 **Folia-Ready Animations**: Visual effects now use the latest Folia entity schedulers (1.21.8+) with automatic signature detection, clamped delays, and no unsafe Bukkit fallbacks.
\n– \ud83e\udde0 **Smarter Diagnostics**: If future Folia builds introduce new scheduler signatures, they\u2019re logged automatically so you can keep running the same jar everywhere.
\n– \ud83e\uddfe **Auto Version Metadata**: `plugin.yml` now inherits the Gradle version, guaranteeing accurate version strings inside the jar.
\n– \ud83c\udf0c **Skyward & Copper Packs**: Two new message packs inspired by the 1.21 \u201cChase the Skies\u201d and \u201cCopper Age\u201d updates, selectable right from the GUI.<\/p>\n

### Version 1.2.x Highlights
\n– **Message Packs System**: Multiple themed collections (default, friendly, professional, funny, RPG) with GUI switching.
\n– **Multi-Language Support**: English and Spanish out of the box with easy CLI\/GUI selection.
\n– **Improved Configuration Display**: Human-friendly display names and cleaner GUI organization.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udd04 Compatibility<\/p>\n

– Fully tested on **Bukkit\/Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and Folia** from **Minecraft 1.13 through 1.21.10**.
\n– Region-aware scheduler paths keep Folia\u2019s watchdog happy while the same jar continues to run flawlessly on single-threaded servers.<\/p>\n
