Modern Maintenance Messages Config | Minecraft MOTD & Maintenance Plugin

Modern Maintenance Messages Config — Minecraft MOTD & Maintenance Screen

A polished configuration for the Maintenance plugin, giving your server a professional look during downtime instead of a plain default kick message.

Built for Paper/Spigot servers running the Maintenance plugin.

Install

Drop the config into your Maintenance plugin folder and reload — see the README for placeholder setup.
