Login notify
Tell players they have mail waiting when they join the server.
When a player joins with items waiting in their mailbox, AT-MailBox can tell them. This reminds players to claim items before they expire.
What the player sees
The notification can show up in three ways, and you can use any mix of them:
- A chat message with the unclaimed count.
- A title and subtitle on screen.
- A sound.
Per-player mode
Each player picks how they are notified from the Mailbox Settings menu
(open /mailbox, click Settings, then the "Login notification" button at the top).
Clicking it cycles through four modes:
- Title + Chat (the default) - both the on-screen title and the chat line.
- Chat only - just the chat line.
- Title only - just the title and subtitle.
- Off - no notification at all, and no sound.
The choice is saved per player and remembered across restarts. This button always shows, whether or not InfiniteBags is installed.
Settings
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
mailbox.login-notify.enabled | true | Master switch. false turns the join notification off for everyone. |
mailbox.login-notify.chat | true | The default for players who never change it: include the chat line. |
mailbox.login-notify.title | true | The default for players who never change it: include the title and subtitle. |
mailbox.login-notify.sound | ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP | Sound to play. Leave blank to disable. |
mailbox.login-notify.cooldown-seconds | 300 | Least time between notifications for the same player. |
gui.notify-button-material | BELL | Icon for the notification button in the settings menu. |
gui.sounds.settings.notify | UI_BUTTON_CLICK | Sound when the button is cycled. Leave blank to disable. |
The chat and title switches set the starting mode for new players: both on
is Title + Chat, one on is that one alone, both off is Off. Each player can still
override their own choice from the menu, and existing players keep Title + Chat
until they change it.
The cooldown stops repeat notifications if a player relogs quickly. With the default of 300, a player is notified at most once every five minutes.
Skipping the notification
Players with the atmailbox.notify.bypass permission are never notified. Use this
for staff or for ranks that do not want the reminder. See
Permissions.
