AutoBroadcaster

AutoBroadcaster is a lightweight and feature-rich PaperMC plugin that automates server announcements. It allows you to schedule broadcasts at specific intervals or at exact server times.

Features

  • Interval Messages: Broadcast messages sequentially or randomly at a set interval (e.g., every 5 minutes).
  • Scheduled Messages: Broadcast specific messages at an exact server time (e.g., daily at 14:00 or 20:30).
  • In-Game Management: Add, remove, list, and reload messages and configurations directly from the game without needing to edit files manually.
  • Modern Formatting: Fully supports Paper's MiniMessage formatting out of the box (e.g., <red>Hello</red>), while seamlessly falling back to legacy color codes (e.g., &cHello) if preferred.

Commands & Usage

The main command is /autobroadcaster (aliases: /abroadcaster, /ab). All commands require the autobroadcaster.admin permission.

Command Description Example
/ab reload Reloads the configuration from disk and restarts the timers. /ab reload
/ab list Displays all currently active interval and scheduled messages along with their IDs/Indices. /ab list
/ab add interval <message> Adds a new interval message to the rotation. /ab add interval <green>Join our Discord!</green>
/ab add <HH:mm> <message> Adds a new scheduled message at the specified time. /ab add 14:30 <gold>Daily event starting!</gold>
/ab remove interval <index> Removes an interval message by its index (use /ab list to find the index). /ab remove interval 1
/ab remove time <HH:mm> Removes a scheduled message for that specific time. /ab remove time 14:30

Permissions

  • autobroadcaster.admin - Grants full access to all plugin commands. Defaults to server Operators (op).
