Updater
UniqueMOTD comes with an auto-updater that downloads the latest version of the plugin at server startup if the plugin is outdated (a new version was released). If you do not want UniqueMOTD to do this, navigate to your 'config.yml' file and change the property 'auto-updater' from 'true' to 'false'. This will disable the plugin's auto-updater from ever running again. If you would like to re-enable the auto-updater after you have disabled it, change the 'auto-updater' property to 'true'.Please view the instructions in the config.yml for more information.
