About

The ShowMessageOfTheDay command triggers the display of your server's configured message of the day (MOTD). This is useful when testing or verifying that your MOTD is set up correctly and rendering as intended in-game.

Run it from the in-game console as a cheat command. It will show the MOTD to whoever executes it, rather than broadcasting it to all players or requiring a server restart to see changes.
