Why Choose VelocityWelcome?



Clean Server Experience



VelocityWelcome completely eliminates the standard Minecraft join and quit notifications that can clutter your chat, especially on busy servers. Only your custom welcome messages will be displayed, giving your server a professional and polished feel.



Enhanced First Impressions



First impressions matter. When new players join your server, they'll be greeted with a colorful, personalized welcome message that stands out from the standard Minecraft experience. This small touch can significantly improve how players perceive your server's quality.



Community Building



The unique join counter feature shows players their position in your server's history (e.g., "Welcome PlayerName! (#137)"). This creates a sense of belonging and community, making players feel like they're part of something established and significant.



Network Efficiency



VelocityWelcome is designed specifically for proxy-based server networks. It efficiently communicates between your Velocity proxy and backend servers to ensure consistent behavior and prevent duplicate welcome messages when players move between servers in your network.



Technical Excellence



VelocityWelcome is built with performance in mind:
