How does a Minecraft MOTD work?
The MOTD (Message Of The Day) is the two-line text players see in the multiplayer list next to your server icon. It is your storefront: a colorful, tidy MOTD gets more clicks and more players.
You configure it in server.properties (the motd= line) or through plugins like ServerListPlus and proxy configs on BungeeCord/Velocity. Plugin configs use the & symbol (e.g. &6&lGold Bold), while the vanilla format uses §.
