Auto Broadcaster

What's Changed since v1.3.0

New Features

• Per-world broadcast targeting — Use target_worlds config option to broadcast messages only to players in specific worlds (works for both interval and scheduled messages)
• Per-permission broadcast targeting — Use required_permission config option to restrict message visibility to players with specific permissions
• Interval validation — Minimum 10-second interval enforced automatically to prevent performance issues
• Improved message format detection — Regex-based MiniMessage tag detection instead of fragile heuristic
• Better tab completion — Suggests indices for remove interval and time keys for remove time

Performance Optimizations

• Pre-computed messages — Prefix + content components are built once at config load, not on every broadcast tick
• Zero-allocation world filtering — Replaced stream-based filtering with simple for-loop
• Cached time parsing — Scheduled message times parsed once and cached

Bug Fixes

• Scheduled message duplicates — Added per-day "already fired" tracking to prevent duplicate broadcasts after reload
• Scheduled message misses — Uses a 2-minute window instead of exact time matching to handle server lag gracefully

Configuration Changes

New config options in config.yml:

• interval_messages.target_worlds — List of worlds (empty = all worlds)
• interval_messages.required_permission — Permission node (empty = everyone)
• scheduled_messages.target_worlds — Per-time world targeting
• scheduled_messages.required_permissions — Per-time permission targeting
