# Brandings

> Customize the BedWars server name, links, messages, and visual identity.

## Overview

Branding should be completed before launch so players see the correct server name, IP, Discord, store, and voting links in menus, books, scoreboards, and messages.

**Branding folder:** `plugins/RocketPlaceholders/placeholders/`

## Branding checklist

> **Server information**
>
> **File:** `plugins/RocketPlaceholders/placeholders/brandings.yml`
>
> Update the following values to match your server:
>
> * **`server_name`** — Server display name (`%rp_server_name%`)
>
> * **`server_ip`** — Normal server address (`%rp_server_ip%`)
>
> * **`server_ip_small`** — Small-caps server address (`%rp_server_ip_small%`)
>
> * **`website`** — Website address (`%rp_website%`)
>
> * **`store`** / **`store_small`** — Normal and small-caps store addresses
>
> * **`store_url`** — Full store URL for book GUIs (`%rp_store_url%`)
>
> * **`vote`** — Main voting address (`%rp_vote%`)
>
> * **`discord`** — Discord address (`%rp_discord%`)
>
> * **`discord_url`** — Full Discord URL for book GUIs (`%rp_discord_url%`)
>
> > [!WARNING]
> >
> > `store_url` and `discord_url` must start with `https://`; otherwise, links in the book GUI will not work correctly.

> **Voting links**
>
> **File:** `plugins/RocketPlaceholders/placeholders/votings.yml`
>
> Configure up to five voting sites. Each site has a display name and URL placeholder:
>
> * **`vote_1_name`** / **`vote_1_link`** — `%rp_vote_1_name%` / `%rp_vote_1_link%`
> * **`vote_2_name`** / **`vote_2_link`** — `%rp_vote_2_name%` / `%rp_vote_2_link%`
> * **`vote_3_name`** / **`vote_3_link`** — `%rp_vote_3_name%` / `%rp_vote_3_link%`
> * **`vote_4_name`** / **`vote_4_link`** — `%rp_vote_4_name%` / `%rp_vote_4_link%`
> * **`vote_5_name`** / **`vote_5_link`** — `%rp_vote_5_name%` / `%rp_vote_5_link%`
>
> Use the complete `https://` URL for every vote link and ensure the vote crate and voting-perk rewards use the same services.

> **Guide, rules, Discord, and store books**
>
> Replace example text and URLs in every player-facing book. Check that the rules match your moderation policy before making the server public.

> **MOTD, messages, and scoreboards**
>
> Update the server-list MOTD, welcome and leave messages, death messages, animated tablist text, and scoreboard titles to use your name and colors.

> **Ranks and permissions**
>
> Review donor and staff ranks, rank-shop prices, and permissions. Remove test permissions and make sure staff roles follow your team structure.

## Recommended workflow

**1. Back up configuration files**

Make a copy of the original configuration before changing branding or prices.

**2. Update brandings.yml**

Replace the example server name, domains, and URLs in `brandings.yml`. Keep the small-caps values aligned with their normal versions.

**3. Update votings.yml**

Add the name and full `https://` URL for each voting site you use. Remove or leave unused sites unlinked until they are ready.

**4. Reload or restart**

Use each plugin's documented reload command where available, or restart the server to load all changes safely.

**5. Test as a player**

Check the server-list MOTD, join messages, menus, books, scoreboards, and all external links from a non-staff account.

> [!TIP]
>
> Keep one authoritative list of your public links and colors. Using the same values across every configuration file prevents broken links and inconsistent branding.
