Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

First Join Message is a minimalistic configurable mod which sends a message to players who join a world for the first time. This can be used to create a more immersive first experience, or a more informational message with for example the rules of a server or minigame. There is also an option to broadcast a message to the whole server if a new player joins. All available config options: firstJoinMessage default "You wake up in an unfamiliar place." The message players will receive when they join a world for the first time. To disable, leave it empty. %s can be used in place of the player name. firstJoinMessageTextFormattingColourIndex default 2, min 0, max 15 The colour of the message.

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Server Utility, Map and Information, Adventure and RPG on Fabric, Forge, Quilt, NeoForge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The source record was updated on Jun 18, 2026, which is a recent freshness signal. A recent date does not guarantee support for every loader or Minecraft version, so still inspect the current file list.

What to verify before choosing a file

• Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
• Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
• Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
• Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
• Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
