How to customize the MOTD on a Minecraft server(Legacy)

Summary
Customizing the MOTD (Message of the Day) on a Minecraft server is a crucial practice to personalize the player experience and communicate important information effectively. The MOTD is the first message players see when connecting to a server, and by customizing it, server administrators can convey server rules, announce events, or simply add a welcoming touch. This feature allows for creativity in presenting the server's unique identity and fostering a sense of community.
