About the Picture Login plugin

Picture Login provides a much nicer login message by displaying a picture of the player's head inside of chat. By default it retrieves player avatars from Crafatar (or another service that you can change inside of the config!). It is very customizable; you can edit anything from the source of the avatar to the message beside it.

Here is a picture of what the default settings look like:

As you can see, you can use color and formatting codes, and even variables! The message is also easy to customize.

Features

These are just a few of the features of Picture Login:

  • Ability to use color/formatting codes.
  • Ability to set a custom avatar url.
  • Ability to use variables.
  • Ability to center text.
  • And much more to be implemented!

Metrics

This plugin uses the bStats metrics system.

By default, bStats sends the following data:

  • Your server's randomly generated UUID
  • The amount of players on your server
  • The online mode of your server
  • The bukkit version of your server
  • The java version of your system (e.g. Java 8)
  • The name of your OS (e.g. Windows)
  • The version of your OS
  • The architecture of your OS (e.g. amd64)
  • The system cores of your OS (e.g. 8)
  • bStats-supported plugins
  • Plugin version of bStats-supported plugins

To disable metrics, simply set enabled to false in the config.yml file located in the bStats plugin folder.
