Getting rid of welcome message(s)

[psymon]

I had a little bit of a hard time getting rid of the default welcome messages, so i thought i share the steps of removing them with you.

Introduction:
I'm running a FTB Infinity Evolved Server 2.5.0 on McMyAdmin 2.7.0.2.

After installing and running the server i had like 3 welcome messages.
But i only wanted to stick to the my custom welcome message.
(That is number 2 on the following list.)
- Default welcome message from McMyAdmin
- Custom welcome message from McMyAdmin
- FTB Pack default welcome message

[1] The default welcome message from McMyAdmin ist pretty easy.
You can find that on the McMyAdmin webinterface.
------------------------
Configuration > Features > Player Notifications > Show standard greetings message [on/off]
------------------------

[3] Then i moved on to the FTB Pack default welcome message that i found in ".\local\ftbu\config.json" file.
I changed the script block from ...
------------------------
"login": {

"motd": [

"Welcome to the server!"​

],
"starting_items": [

"minecraft:apple 16 0"​

]​

},
------------------------

to ...
------------------------
"login": {

"motd": [

""​

],
"starting_items": [

"minecraft:apple 16 0"​

]​

},
------------------------
to get rid of it.

Btw. removing the whole motd block, that it looks like this does not work.
The block including the welcome message text is re-generated when the server is starting.
------------------------
"login": {

"starting_items": [

"minecraft:apple 16 0"​

]​

},
------------------------

The only answer i'm missing is where the source of this config file or at least the motd block is.
So if you're aware of that i would appreciate to know it too

I hope that helps if anybody else is also stumbling on the big wave of welcome messages.

Cheers psy

"starting_items": [ ] and "motd": [ ]

Removing the entry will cause it to reset to default, but if you set it to empty array [ ] it should work
