What JoinScreen Solves

Most servers drop players straight into the game with nothing but a chat message. There is no first impression, no branding moment, no reason for a new player to stop and look.

JoinScreen fixes that. When a player joins, they are greeted by a fully customizable GUI welcome screen rendered through your server resource pack. You control every item, every texture, every command that runs when a button is clicked. A separate first-join screen plays once and then switches to the default screen for every subsequent login. Configurable fullscreen fade transitions give the handoff a polished, premium feel.

This is not a chat message. It is an arrival.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

How It Works

The flow is designed to be seamless from the moment a player connects:

Player joins - Blindness and invulnerability are applied automatically while the resource pack loads.
Resource pack loads - A configurable sound plays, effects are removed, and the welcome screen opens.
Player sees the screen - A chest GUI (up to 54 slots) with custom textures, items, lore, and click actions.
Player clicks Advance - Commands run, optional fullscreen fade plays, and the player enters the server.

The screen is force-advance by default - players cannot close it without clicking the advance button. Every step is configurable.

Core Features

◆ Welcome Screen

Chest GUI inventory, up to 54 items with full slot control
Custom item names, lore, material, and CustomModelData per slot
Per-item commands: run as player or as console on click
Force-advance mode prevents closing without clicking the advance button
Configurable open delay, configurable show-once-per-session

◆ First-Join Screen

Separate screen displayed only on a player's very first join
Persisted in data.yml - never shown again after first advance
Same full feature set as the default welcome screen
Ideal for rules, introductions, or character creation flows

◆ Fullscreen Fade

Configurable fade-in, stay, and fade-out durations in ticks
Rendered through the resource pack via a Unicode overlay character
Triggers on advance or manually via /joinscreen fade
Works with any custom overlay texture you provide

◆ Resource Pack Handling

Auto-applies blindness and invulnerability until the pack loads
Kicks players who decline the resource pack with a custom multi-line message
Configurable kick on failed download
Plays a configurable sound when the pack finishes loading
Bundled resource pack template auto-extracts and zips on first run

◆ Chat Customization

Hide join and quit messages entirely
Custom join and quit messages with {player} and PlaceholderAPI support

◆ Unicode & Resource Pack Integration

Configurable Unicode characters for background, fade overlay, and title textures
Easy integration with Oraxen, ItemsAdder, or any existing resource pack
Override any Unicode mapping without touching the source code

◆ Multi-Language Support

2 built-in languages: English and Polish
All messages use legacy color codes with hex (RRGGBB) support
Language switch is a single line in config.yml
Missing keys fall back gracefully to English

RPG and adventure servers Show a starting screen with class selection, rules acceptance, or lore introduction on first join. The first-join screen fires exactly once.
Survival and SMP Present server rules, discord links, or donation info before players enter the world. Force-advance mode guarantees they see it.
Network owners Single-command install, full reload support, no restarts for config changes. Drop it in any game mode running Paper 1.21+.
