🎃 Pumpkin Announcer

The ultimate automated announcement system, now natively supporting both Paper servers and Velocity proxies in a single, smart .jar file! PumpkinAnnouncer allows you to schedule highly immersive messages with full support for chat, ActionBars, BossBars, and custom sound effects.

✨ Features

• 🌐 Cross-Platform (1 File): Works seamlessly whether you drop it into your Paper plugins folder or your Velocity proxy. The plugin intelligently adapts to the platform!
• 🎨 Universal Color Support: Mix and match Legacy codes (&a&l), Bungee Hex (&#FF0000), and modern MiniMessage tags (<gradient:red:blue>) on the same line. The plugin automatically translates everything flawlessly.
• 🪧 BossBars & ActionBars: Grab your players' attention with animated, temporary boss bars and action bar messages paired with custom sounds.
• 🎯 Multi-Server (Velocity): Broadcast announcements to the entire network (global) or restrict them to specific servers (e.g., ["lobby", "survival"]).
• 🌍 Multi-World (Paper): Filter announcements so they only appear to players in specific worlds (e.g., ["world_nether"]).
• 📏 Mathematical Centering: Simply add the [center] tag at the beginning of any line to center it perfectly in the Minecraft chat. It calculates pixels and intelligently ignores color codes!
• 🖱️ Interactive Chat: Full support for <click> and <hover> tags to create clickable links and informative tooltips.
• ⌨️ Smart Tab-Completion: Press TAB while typing /pa test to instantly auto-complete the IDs of all your configured announcements.

📖 Documentation & Examples (config.yml)

The v2.2 configuration system allows you to fully customize every aspect of your announcements. Here are 4 of the most common setups (feel free to copy and paste them!).

1. Store Sale (Features BossBar, ActionBar & Sound)

A premium-tier announcement. It plays a "Level Up" sound, shows a title above the hotbar, and displays a BossBar that smoothly depletes (deplete: true) over 15 seconds.

  store_sale:
    servers: ["global"]
    worlds: ["global"]
    sound: "ENTITY_PLAYER_LEVELUP"
    actionbar:
      enabled: true
      text: "<gradient:red:gold><bold>🔥 HUGE WEEKEND SALE - 50% OFF! 🔥</bold></gradient>"
      duration-seconds: 10
    bossbar:
      enabled: true
      text: "<gradient:red:gold><bold>WEEKEND SALE IS LIVE!</bold></gradient>"
      color: "RED"
      style: "SOLID"
      duration-seconds: 15
      deplete: true
    lines:
      - "[center]<gradient:red:gold><bold>🔥 WEEKEND SALE 🔥</bold></gradient>"
      - ""
      - "[center]<white>Get a <green><bold>50% DISCOUNT</bold></green> on all ranks and keys!"
      - "[center]<white>Support the server and get epic perks."
      - ""
      - "[center]<click:open_url:'https://store.yourserver.com'><hover:show_text:'<green>Click to visit the store!'><yellow><bold>👉 store.yourserver.com 👈</bold></yellow></hover></click>"

2. Voting Reminder (Velocity Server Filter)

If you are running Velocity, this announcement will only broadcast to the "survival" and "skyblock" servers. It utilizes an ActionBar but disables the BossBar.

  voting:
    servers: ["survival", "skyblock"] 
    worlds: ["global"]
    sound: "ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP"
    actionbar:
      enabled: true
      text: "<gold><bold>Vote for us and earn epic rewards!</bold></gold>"
      duration-seconds: 8
    bossbar:
      enabled: false
    lines:
      - "[center]<color:#FFD900><bold>SUPPORT THE SERVER</bold></color>"
      - ""
      - "[center]<white>Do you enjoy playing here? Help us grow!"
      - "[center]<white>Use <gold>/vote</gold> or click the link below."
      - "[center]<click:open_url:'https://vote.yourserver.com'><hover:show_text:'<yellow>Click to vote!'><underlined><aqua>vote.yourserver.com</aqua></underlined></hover></click>"

3. Danger Alert (Paper World Filter)

If you are running Paper, this is perfect. It will only appear to players who are currently in the Nether dimension. Features a Ghast warning sound and a segmented BossBar for a "timer" feel.

  nether_warning:
    servers: ["global"]
    worlds: ["world_nether"] #[PAPER ONLY] Exclusive to this world
    sound: "ENTITY_GHAST_WARN"
    actionbar:
      enabled: false
    bossbar:
      enabled: true
      text: "<red><bold>⚠ DANGEROUS ZONE ⚠</bold></red>"
      color: "RED"
      style: "SEGMENTED_6" 
      duration-seconds: 10
      deplete: true
    lines:
      - "[center]<red><bold>⚠ CAUTION ⚠</bold></red>"
      - ""
      - "[center]<white>You are currently exploring the <color:#FF5733>Nether</color>!"
      - "[center]<white>Keep your inventory safe and watch out for lava."
      - "[center]<gray>» <white>PvP is <red>enabled</red> in this world."

4. Informational Announcement (Clean & Minimalist)

A simple staff recruitment announcement. No ActionBars, no BossBars, no sounds. Just perfectly centered chat text.

  staff_recruitment:
    servers: ["global"]
    worlds: ["global"]
    sound: ""
    actionbar:
      enabled: false
    bossbar:
      enabled: false
    lines:
      - "[center]<color:#00FFD1><bold>WE ARE HIRING!</bold></color>"
      - ""
      - "[center]<white>Are you active and love helping others?"
      - "[center]<white>We are currently looking for <color:#00FFD1>Helpers</color> and <color:#FF8C00>Moderators</color>."
      - "[center]<gray>» <white>Apply here: <click:open_url:'https://apply.yourserver.com'><hover:show_text:'<gray>Good luck!'><underlined><color:#00FFD1>apply.yourserver.com</color></underlined></hover></click>"
