SimpleAutoMessage

SimpleAutoMessage is a lightweight, efficient, and modern automatic broadcast plugin designed for Minecraft servers ranging from 1.8 to the latest versions. It focuses on essential functionality without the bloat, providing a clean and reliable way to keep your players informed.

Key Features

* Broad Version Support: Works seamlessly on Spigot/Paper versions from 1.8 to 1.21+.
* RGB & Legacy Colors: Full support for modern HEX colors (&#RRGGBB) on 1.16+ servers, with automatic fallback to legacy colors (&a, &c) on older versions.
* PlaceholderAPI Integration: Use placeholders like %player_name% or %vault_eco_balance% to personalize messages for every player.
* Smart Links: URLs in messages (http/https) are automatically detected and made clickable with customizable hover text.
* Permission-Based Groups: Create message groups restricted to specific permissions (e.g., for VIPs or Staff).
* Silent Interval: If a player lacks the permission for a specific message group, they will see nothing during that interval. No errors, no empty lines - just a quiet skip.
* Performance: Messages are processed asynchronously where possible to ensure zero impact on your server's TPS.
