OwnerBroadcast

A simple, effective owner announcement plugin for Paper 1.21+.

Pop a title announcement on every online player's screen with one command. No chat spam, no missed messages — just a clean, configurable on-screen broadcast.

Features

• On-screen title popup — announcements render as a title/subtitle overlay, impossible to miss or scroll past
• Configurable timing — control fade-in, stay, and fade-out duration in ticks
• Optional sound — play any Bukkit sound alongside the popup, with volume and pitch control
• Optional chat echo — log the announcement to chat as well, with its own configurable format
• Spam guard — an optional per-sender cooldown between broadcasts
• Works from console — broadcast from the console with a configurable console display name

• title.title / title.subtitle — the popup text, with <player> and <message> placeholders

All text fields support MiniMessage formatting, with legacy &-codes also parsed.
