oi you're good!

grim crypt
#

would heart react that but suppse I can't do such things ^^'

#

oh, can't just delete the post either...

stoic verge
#

xdd, don't worry about it - if someone does end up looking in this channel, they'll find this

grim crypt
#

oh right, I tried to use this once but got

stoic verge
#

can you send the motd you're trying here? you can also test it by sending each line to yourself ingame with /msg, the filter should highlight what's triggering it

#

most of the time it's because of symbols or phrases that happen to appear in color codes

grim crypt
#

ooohhh right, let me troubleshoot it in chat real quick-

#

...huh?

stoic verge
#

oh, yea that's a bypass for the F slur

#

it's in the second color code

#

you can chuck that color into a color picker and then just move it like 1 pixel lmao

grim crypt
#

ohhh good idea!

grim crypt
#

due to the 128 character limit I'm somehow struggling on making a fancy one >.>''

stoic verge
#

hm send the motd here

grim crypt
#

I'm new to this jazz so try not to judge ^^"'

#

<yellow>- Party Game, No Grinding Required.
- Easy to play, hard to master.
- 5 Small Maps | 4 Big Maps
- 435 Custom Items.</yellow>```
#

I tried to make the top part have a gradient, but takes too many letters up

stoic verge
#

okay first thing you can easily do is delete the </color>, since the new color after them will override it

grim crypt
#

simplified: (still too long)


<yellow>- Party Game, <red>No Grinding Required.</red>
- <green>Easy </green>to play, <dark_red>Hard </dark_red>to master.
- 5 Small Maps | 4 Big Maps
- 435 Custom Items.</yellow>```
stoic verge
#

try


<yellow>- Party Game, <red>No Grinding Required.</red>
- <green>Easy </green>to play, <dark_red>hard <yellow>to master.
- 5 Small Maps | 4 Big Maps
- 435 Custom Items.```
the silly battle royale text is a slightly different color, so idk if you're wanting to use that specific color over the default gold
grim crypt
#

solved, just simplified it and removed alot of un-needed:


- Easy to play, hard to master.
- No Boring Grinding Gameplay.
stoic verge
#

you can probably also remove the version # because it may not be important for promotion (you can still very much display that number within the server like on tab or a scoreboard)

grim crypt
#

oh right yeah this is mainly for promotion not displaying info hmmmm

stoic verge
#

yeah

grim crypt
#

I suck at this if you can't tell -w-''

stoic verge
#

everyone starts out bad, no issue at all xd

#

does your server have a color palette or a theme?

grim crypt
#

yeah, checked and Version is already displayed, suppose showing the map amount
is also something that is redundant for promoting it

stoic verge
#

ah I'm assuming yellow and orange are the main colors? noice

grim crypt
#

Mainly based off the colors the blockbench Title generator give you x)

stoic verge
#

ahh neato

grim crypt
#

going to quickly go over some other MOTDs to see what I should be putting-

stoic verge
#

good idea

grim crypt
#

immedately noticed alot try and be center in the middle

stoic verge
#

I'm guessing they do that by using a color/format code and then add spaces 🤔

grim crypt
#

or just really good with spaces

stoic verge
#

I have no idea how some servers have detailed motds while fitting the character limit 😭

grim crypt
#

i was about to say!

#

is ths some sort of premium thing?

stoic verge
#

oh no it's not, lemme look up a guide for minimessage stuff rq

#

there's a section for gradients, but even those take up a lot of characters

grim crypt
#
<yellow>Woo: <gradient>||||||||||||||||||||||||</gradient>!
<yellow>Woo: <gradient:#5e4fa2:#f79459>||||||||||||||||||||||||</gradient>!
<yellow>Woo: <gradient:#5e4fa2:#f79459:red>||||||||||||||||||||||||</gradient>!
<yellow>Woo: <gradient:green:blue>||||||||||||||||||||||||</gradient>!
#

yeah... though its a good start, just trying to think of text for it first

#

really want to emphasise its no slop server where you grind for 10 hours straight, but thats what most people want here >.>''

#

adding 1 gradient to:


• Easy to play, hard to master.
• No Boring Grinding Gameplay.

makes it exactly 128 letters.

stoic verge
#

o,O

grim crypt
#

this here already takes 113 lines:

====================

• EAT OR BE EATEN!
• MUTATE & EVOLVE
• GROW OR PERISH

====================```
I don't see how they can make the dots gray, have different
gradients and all that jazz while fitting under 128!
stoic verge
#

right 😭

grim crypt
#

sorry did I miss something?

#

the sobbing emoji makes me feel like i've missed something important and now being mocked

stoic verge
#

no, I'm agreeing with you

#

maybe those servers were greedy and took all the characters >:(
yea idk how they do it

grim crypt
#

...can you do stuff like &6 to change it to gold?

rapid raptor
grim crypt
#

or that funky symbol that works on bedrock

rapid raptor
#

Idk why I'm here I have no idea

grim crypt
#

oh hey its that dancing moon

#

you remind me of a song

stoic verge
#

think MiniMessage is the only format usable in the motd

grim crypt
#

would it be a good idea to make this a seprate #1014801630295760897 post? since this did somewhat go off topic

stoic verge
#

nah it's fine, it's still about motds and it's your post

grim crypt
#

fair enough, just thought the title may be misleading for what we are trying to now achieve

rapid raptor
#

You can edit it to

#

Motd support

#

Or smthn

grim crypt
#

augh its 1am, I should sleep instead of worrying about a tiiinnyy bit of promotion that would work

#

I usually use BirdFlop for generating my text, has MiniMessage too
