📢 Ultimate Broadcast — High-Performance Server Announcement Platform

The announcement platform that players and server owners actually love. Engineered from the ground up for high-population Paper, Purpur and Folia networks, Ultimate Broadcast delivers scheduled announcements, player join/quit milestones, countdowns, and Discord mirroring across six delivery channels with per-player subscriptions and a fully asynchronous database engine.

🚀 Key Architectural Highlights

👋 1. Join, Quit & First-Join Milestone Announcements

• First-Join Milestones: Automatically celebrate first-time joins with celebratory sounds and unique player counts (Welcome %player% (#%player_count% unique player!)).
• Connection Feeds: Clean join and leave notifications rendered in beautiful MiniMessage hex gradients without messy chat clutter.
• Personalized Welcome MOTD: Independent Title/Subtitle and chime welcome dispatched smoothly after chunk load.

🔔 2. Players Control What They Receive (Zero Spam)

The #1 complaint about announcement plugins is player chat spam. Ultimate Broadcast provides a true subscription center:

• /broadcast toggle — Master switch, instantly respected by all delivery queues.
• /broadcast settings — Clean interactive GUI with independent toggles per category (announcements, events, tips, promotions, social, connections).
• Preferences persist asynchronously in SQLite/MySQL across restarts.

📺 3. Six Delivery Channels, One Unified Syntax

Deliver announcements via chat, actionbar, title, subtitle, bossbar, and dual (simultaneous Chat + Actionbar):

/broadcast send dual <gradient:#8B5CF6:#22D3EE><bold>Maintenance in 10 minutes!</bold></gradient>
/broadcast send bossbar &eServer restart in 5 minutes
/broadcast send actionbar <yellow>%player%<gray>, vote for crate keys!

💬 4. Discord Mirroring Without a Bot

Mirror announcements directly to Discord channels via high-throughput webhooks. No bot token, no external dependencies, and zero lag. Includes automatic retry logic and rate-limit handling.

⚡ 5. 100% Folia Multithreading & Zero Main-Thread SQL

• Folia Multi-Thread Parity: Auto-detects Folia at runtime and routes work across regionized schedulers, async schedulers, and entity schedulers.
• Asynchronous Storage Engine: All SQLite WAL and MySQL operations run on background threads. Zero database locks and zero TPS drops on 100+ player networks.

🛡️ 6. Intelligent Delivery Guard & Self-Healing Config

• Anti-Spam & Deduplication: Prevents duplicate proxy echoes and enforces per-player rate limits.
• TPS-Aware Throttling: Sounds and particle effects are automatically dampened when TPS drops below threshold, keeping server tick health optimal.
• Self-Healing YAML Engine: Automatically repairs legacy indentation bugs and migrates older configuration keys without clobbering server admin edits.
