FeatherUtils

A Paper/Spigot/Folia plugin that integrates your Minecraft server with the Feather client. It adds Discord Rich Presence with a live player count, a custom server-list background for Feather users, and a configurable join message when a Feather player connects.

Features

• Discord Rich Presence — shows your server in a player's Discord status, with a live online/max player count that updates automatically.
• Custom server-list background — display a PNG background for players browsing your server in the Feather client.
• Feather join message — broadcast a configurable message when a player joins using Feather, optionally gated behind a permission.
• Live updates — presence refreshes on a 5-second timer and immediately on player join/leave.

Requirements

• Paper, Spigot, or Folia 1.21+ (the plugin uses Folia's region schedulers and declares folia-supported, so it runs natively on all three)
• Feather Server API

Installation

1. Drop FeatherUtils.jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
2. Add the Feather Server API jar to plugins/ as well (FeatherUtils depends on it).
3. Start or restart the server to generate the default config.
4. Edit plugins/FeatherUtils/config.yml, then run /featherutils reload.
