HNoJoinMessage

Removes the vanilla "joined the game" and "left the game" messages for every player. Install it and you're done: there are no commands, no config and no permissions.

Features

• 🔇 Hides the yellow join and leave messages in chat
• 👢 Also hides the leave message when a player is kicked
• 🪶 Very small: under 2 KB, a single class
• 🧠 No memory leaks: it doesn't store anything about players and runs no tasks or timers
• ⚡ No performance cost: it only clears a message when someone joins or leaves
• 🧵 Thread-safe: works on multithreaded servers like Folia

FAQ

Does it work with custom join message plugins? HNoJoinMessage clears the message at a late stage, so plugins that set a custom join or leave message will have it hidden too. Plugins that send their own separate broadcast (most welcome plugins do) are not affected.

Is there a config? No. It does one thing.

Does it need to be on the client? No. It's a server-side plugin only.
