To modify it, simply enter the text that you want, and remember to click "Save" at the bottom of the server settings.

 

Adding colour to your Message of the Day:

 

Simple (all server types) :

 

In the "Message of the Day" entry there is a certain format to use which will allow you to specify which colours to output as the MOTD. The exact format is "\u00A7", to utilise this correctly there must be a colour code after. To add other formatting codes such as bold, or italics simply follow the same process.

Example:

Message of the Day

Text: "\u00A7cSpartan \u00A7bHost"

To take effect, please save, then restart your server. After starting up, it should output:

Spartan Host MOTD
