12. Custom Loading Messages – Quick Setup Guide

Adjust Message Behavior (Optional)

• “Cycle Messages Every ~N Seconds” → How often the messages change.
  Tip: If the plugin is causing performance issues, try increasing the “Cycle Messages Every ~N Seconds”.
• “Enable Messages Cyclicity” → Set true to loop messages or false to show only the first one.
• “Use Random Cyclicity (Instead of sequential)” → Set true to show messages in random order.

Change the Messages

In the file, look for the “Messages” section. Each message looks like this:

• Replace the text inside "Message" with whatever you want players to see.
• You can use {PLAYERNAME} to include the player’s name.
• Use short hex color codes like #9cf for colors.

Customize Queue Messages (Optional)
If you want custom messages for players waiting in the queue, change the “Queue Messages” section in the same way.

• “Enable Queue Messages” → Set to true to enable custom messages for players in the queue.
• If set to false, the queue messages section will be ignored.

Set the Last Message
This message shows when the player is about to enter the game.

Tips & Notes

• If the plugin affects performance, increase “Cycle Messages Every ~N Seconds”.
• To add more messages, keep the format { “Icon name”: “…”, “Message”: “…” }, adding a comma after each except the last.
• You can add as many messages as you want this way.
