🎨 Message Formatting
Use Minecraft formatting codes directly in your message.
Examples:
&c = Red&a = Green&e = Yellow&l = Bold&o = Italic&n = Underlined&m = Strikethrough&r = Reset formatting
Example:
&c&lImportant News
This will display Important News in red and bold in Minecraft.
Standard Minecraft color codes from &0 to &f are supported.
Messages can also contain multiple lines, making longer announcements easier to structure and read.
🕒 Timezone
NobodyNews uses UTC by default, but the timezone can be changed in the configuration.
Examples:
UTCEurope/BerlinAmerica/New_YorkAsia/Tokyo
This allows the displayed date and time to match your server or community location.
📖 For Players
Players open the news system with:
/news
Unread announcements are marked as new.
When a player selects an announcement, it opens in a Minecraft book, providing a clean and comfortable way to read server news.
The read status is stored individually for every player.
