How To Change the MOTD on a Minecraft Server

The MOTD (Message of the Day) on a Minecraft server is a short message players see when they join. It tells them essential things about the server, like rules and events. It's a way to welcome players and give them helpful information, as well as supply players with important links to Discord or other community sites. The MOTD can be combined with a unique Server Icon to really make a server stand out.
