# Welcome Message

Welcome Messages are messages that get sent once players join the server, It is sent to them and them only! Messages can be random message everytime a person joins, and can be different for LP groups!\
This is the example config found in Config.yml:

```yaml
# Welcome messages
# Messages sent to players when they join the server
# You can define different messages for different ranks/groups
# Each rank can have multiple variants that will be randomly selected
# Set 'first_join_only' to true to only show the welcome message the first time a player joins
# Set 'cooldown' to a number of minutes to only show the welcome message if the player has been offline for that long
welcome_message:
  enabled: true
  first_join_only: false
  cooldown: 60 # Minutes between welcome messages for returning players (0 = always show)
