How to configure messages
In JoinLeavePlus it is very simple to change the join/leave/first time join messages. You can EITHER use MiniMessage OR legacy color coding. Also, as of update 1.4 you can add multiple different messages to have them be randomized. If you don't want randomized messages, just set only one of them.
