Small additions to two guides, nothing removed or replaced:

  • motd.md: next to the mctools.org MOTD creator, mention the BestMCServerList MOTD designer. It outputs the server.properties line (with \u00A7 escapes) and also MiniMessage, so I added a half sentence to the MiniMOTD step too.
  • icon.md: a :::tip before step 1 pointing to a server icon maker that exports a ready 64x64 server-icon.png, so readers can skip the cropping steps. The genfavicon.com walkthrough stays as it is.

Both tools are free and work without an account.

Disclosure: I'm one of the operators of BestMCServerList, which hosts these tools. If you'd rather keep the docs to one tool per step, feel free to close this, no hard feelings.

I actually think this is a great addition to the guide. We are planning on replacing the existing site with a simple "reformat your image" alternative. Your proposal brings to the table an utility that would still make sense after we deploy our site, since said utility allows for design and custom generation.

The guide will be rewriten later on, but your change is valid today, and will remain so later. It is likely we'll later change the "Tip Alternative" but considering the current option, I think it's okay to have it as a priority comment.
