Overview
When a Minecraft server is offline, the entry in a player's multiplayer list simply stops responding. They get a connection error and no explanation, identical whether the server is stopped, still installing, restarting, or suspended for non-payment.
AlwaysMOTD answers those server-list pings on behalf of servers that are not running, so the entry keeps showing a proper MOTD with your own server icon and the real status. Players see Server Offline, Server Suspended, Server Installing, or Server Starting with a message you write yourself.
Features
- Easy setup: around six lines in
config.ymland you are running. - Easy install: only two files uploaded to your nodes. Works with Blueprint.
- Fast failover: detects a change in server state within about two seconds.
- Fully customizable: every message and icon can be configured to your own wording.
- Your own server icon: use your logo as the icon for offline, suspended, starting, and installing servers.
- Efficient: under 5 MB of memory and almost no CPU, with local caching.
Compatibility
Works with both Blueprint and standalone Pterodactyl. It does not modify your Pterodactyl panel at all, it only adds a single file to your Wings server, so panel updates cannot break it.
Also available for Calagopus

Thanks for your review!
The AlwaysMOTD mod is a simple yet incredibly useful addition for any Minecraft server. Instead of showing the Message of the Day only on a player’s first join, this mod ensures it’s always displayed whenever they connect — perfect for updates, announcements, or important server info. Configuration is straightforward, and it runs smoothly without affecting performance. It’s a lightweight mod that does exactly what it promises: keeping players informed at all times. Reliable, efficient, and easy to use — a must-have for every serious server owner who values clear communication with their community.
So very cinema, it just works seamlessly
