Fortune

Fortune is a lightweight, server-side Fabric mod that sends a random fortune to players every time they log in — inspired by the classic Linux fortune command.

It’s perfect for adding personality to your server: motivate your friends, spook them with cryptic warnings, or just throw in some chaos. Make up your own fortunes.

✨ Features

Shows a fortune in chat whenever a player joins

Fully configurable: edit fortunes.json in the config folder

Includes a reload command: /fortune reload

Server-side only

Works great with themed servers, communities, or just for fun

🛠 Configuration

Fortunes are stored in a simple JSON file: config/fortune/fortunes.json
The format is just a plain array of strings:

[
  "Beware the sheep that watches you sleep.",
  "Your next jump will change everything."
]

Want to import your own list? Convert any list of quotes, jokes, or sayings into this format and reload in-game with:

/fortune reload
