SimpleAnnounce

SimpleAnnounce is a simple and easy to use, yet powerful automated announcement plugin for the Bukkit Minecraft API.

Messages can be sent server-wide or controlled by permissions after a delay and optionally repeated after an interval.

Features

• Timed server-wide announcements/news messages
• Easily configurable
• Configure one-time or repeating messages
• Extensive Permissions support - configure messages to only send to users including or excluding certain permission nodes
• Optional debug mode to track down who is/isn't receiving messages and why
• Automatic config reloading to get new messages
• /simpleannouncereload or /sar to reload on command!
  • Permissions: simpleannounce.reload
