What kind of info should I put on a motd and tab list?
I've noticed a lot of bigger servers do something like:
or they list the games they offer on the second line, but I don't have any updates and it's just survival with the typical features. And for my tab list it's pretty empty it's just displays the server name and the users ping, but I feel like there could put something better here. Just wanted to get some ideas and see what other people do.

Maybe info about the map? :) Like, how big is the overworld, when was it opened. If you have /rules or /discord, could also add that in there. Or don't add anything, it sounds fine as it is.
My tabs usually include placeholders with the time until a few upcoming events (like dragon respawn, KOTH, treasure hunt, or next restart) as well as server version and other small stuff players might ask for (some of them like having the time for example).
Much of that will depend on which plugins you use, because each can provide you some useful informational placeholders; I recommend you look through those and decide what information your players will want, and if it's appropriate to include in a tab or if it's better in a scoreboard or on a sign/hologram instead.
