WaveBack is a PaperMC plugin that lets you customize join and leave messages while rewarding players for welcoming others back to the server.
Players can say greetings like wb, welcome back, wbb, or dubs after a returning player joins. WaveBack detects those greetings during a configurable time window and rewards greeters with commands, items, or Vault economy money.
