✨ NeON ✨

The ultimate player join & leave experience for your Minecraft server

✨ What is NeON?

NeON turns every join and leave into an immersive event... say goodbye to ugly vanilla yellow messages!

With just a 'few' edits in the NeON\config.yml, you can:

Elevate your chat with auto‑centered, MiniMessage & HEX‑coloured messages

Surprise players with floating holograms (static, tracking or “breathing” animations) on join / leave

Ignite the sky with custom fireworks (random bursts, hex colours, trails & flicker)

Stylize join/leave events using particles for subtle ambiance or grand displays

Get notified via event-correspondant sounds for join/leave (global or per-player)

Command attention with titles, actionbars and bossbars (global or per‑player)

Prompt joining players for resource pack usage

Born as the spiritual successor to my once popular ☄️ CometWelcome, now entirely rewritten on modern builds of Paper, ✨ NeON delivers everything CometWelcome could only dream of!

From an auto-updating configuration, plug‑and‑play Auto-Centering, HEX, and MiniMessage support, all the way to all‑new join/leave holograms, ✨ NeON is bound to be the ultimate welcome & farewell experience for your players!

/papi ecloud download Server 
/papi ecloud download Essentials
/papi reload

Start configuring!

You can use /neon reload to hot-reload your configuration file.

Tip: Mix legacy & colour codes, MiniMessage formatting, and PlaceholderAPI/NeON placeholders freely – NeON cleverly parses them all!

🤝 Integrations

PlaceholderAPI – endless placeholders.
MiniMessage – modern formatting tags (<gradient>, <hover>, <click>…).
Vanish Plugins – SuperVanish & VanishNoPacket are detected automatically.
