\n![Version](https:\/\/img.shields.io\/badge\/Version-v2.2-success?style=for-the-badge)<\/p>\n

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

## \u2728 Features<\/p>\n

– \ud83c\udf10 **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!
\n– \ud83c\udfa8 **Universal Color Support:** Mix and match Legacy codes (`&a&l`), Bungee Hex (`&#FF0000`), and modern MiniMessage tags (``) on the same line. The plugin automatically translates everything flawlessly.
\n– \ud83e\udea7 **BossBars & ActionBars:** Grab your players’ attention with animated, temporary boss bars and action bar messages paired with custom sounds.
\n– \ud83c\udfaf **Multi-Server (Velocity):** Broadcast announcements to the entire network (`global`) or restrict them to specific servers (e.g., `[“lobby”, “survival”]`).
\n– \ud83c\udf0d **Multi-World (Paper):** Filter announcements so they only appear to players in specific worlds (e.g., `[“world_nether”]`).
\n– \ud83d\udccf **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!
\n– \ud83d\uddb1\ufe0f **Interactive Chat:** Full support for `` and `` tags to create clickable links and informative tooltips.
\n– \u2328\ufe0f **Smart Tab-Completion:** Press `TAB` while typing `\/pa test` to instantly auto-complete the IDs of all your configured announcements.<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udcd6 Documentation & Examples (`config.yml`)<\/p>\n

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!).<\/p>\n

### 1. Store Sale (Features BossBar, ActionBar & Sound)
\nA 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.
\n“`yaml
\n store_sale:
\n servers: [“global”]
\n worlds: [“global”]
\n sound: “ENTITY_PLAYER_LEVELUP”
\n actionbar:
\n enabled: true
\n text: “\ud83d\udd25 HUGE WEEKEND SALE – 50% OFF! \ud83d\udd25<\/bold><\/gradient>”
\n duration-seconds: 10
\n bossbar:
\n enabled: true
\n text: “WEEKEND SALE IS LIVE!<\/bold><\/gradient>”
\n color: “RED”
\n style: “SOLID”
\n duration-seconds: 15
\n deplete: true
\n lines:
\n – “[center]\ud83d\udd25 WEEKEND SALE \ud83d\udd25<\/bold><\/gradient>”
\n – “”
\n – “[center]Get a 50% DISCOUNT<\/bold><\/green> on all ranks and keys!”
\n – “[center]Support the server and get epic perks.”
\n – “”
\n – “[center]Click to visit the store!’>\ud83d\udc49 store.yourserver.com \ud83d\udc48<\/bold><\/yellow><\/hover><\/click>”
\n“`<\/p>\n

### 2. Voting Reminder (Velocity Server Filter)
\nIf you are running Velocity, this announcement will **only** broadcast to the “survival” and “skyblock” servers. It utilizes an ActionBar but disables the BossBar.
\n“`yaml
\n voting:
\n servers: [“survival”, “skyblock”]
\n worlds: [“global”]
\n sound: “ENTITY_EXPERIENCE_ORB_PICKUP”
\n actionbar:
\n enabled: true
\n text: “Vote for us and earn epic rewards!<\/bold><\/gold>”
\n duration-seconds: 8
\n bossbar:
\n enabled: false
\n lines:
\n – “[center]SUPPORT THE SERVER<\/bold><\/color>”
\n – “”
\n – “[center]Do you enjoy playing here? Help us grow!”
\n – “[center]Use \/vote<\/gold> or click the link below.”
\n – “[center]Click to vote!’>vote.yourserver.com<\/aqua><\/underlined><\/hover><\/click>”
\n“`<\/p>\n

### 3. Danger Alert (Paper World Filter)
\nIf 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.
\n“`yaml
\n nether_warning:
\n servers: [“global”]
\n worlds: [“world_nether”] #[PAPER ONLY] Exclusive to this world
\n sound: “ENTITY_GHAST_WARN”
\n actionbar:
\n enabled: false
\n bossbar:
\n enabled: true
\n text: “\u26a0 DANGEROUS ZONE \u26a0<\/bold><\/red>”
\n color: “RED”
\n style: “SEGMENTED_6”
\n duration-seconds: 10
\n deplete: true
\n lines:
\n – “[center]\u26a0 CAUTION \u26a0<\/bold><\/red>”
\n – “”
\n – “[center]You are currently exploring the Nether<\/color>!”
\n – “[center]Keep your inventory safe and watch out for lava.”
\n – “[center]\u00bb PvP is enabled<\/red> in this world.”
\n“`<\/p>\n

### 4. Informational Announcement (Clean & Minimalist)
\nA simple staff recruitment announcement. No ActionBars, no BossBars, no sounds. Just perfectly centered chat text.
\n“`yaml
\n staff_recruitment:
\n servers: [“global”]
\n worlds: [“global”]
\n sound: “”
\n actionbar:
\n enabled: false
\n bossbar:
\n enabled: false
\n lines:
\n – “[center]WE ARE HIRING!<\/bold><\/color>”
\n – “”
\n – “[center]Are you active and love helping others?”
\n – “[center]We are currently looking for Helpers<\/color> and Moderators<\/color>.”
\n – “[center]\u00bb Apply here: Good luck!’>apply.yourserver.com<\/color><\/underlined><\/hover><\/click>”
\n“`<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \u2699\ufe0f General Settings<\/p>\n

At the very top of your `config.yml`, you can control the main timer and fully translate\/customize all the plugin’s command responses.
\n“`yaml
\nsettings:
\n cooldown-seconds: 60<\/p>\n

messages:
\n help: “PumpkinAnnouncer<\/bold><\/gradient>n\u00bb \/pa reload – Reload settingsn\u00bb \/pa list – View all IDsn\u00bb \/pa test – Preview an announcement”
\n reload-success: “Reload complete! Everything is running smoothly.”
\n list-header: “Currently Loaded Announcements:<\/bold><\/gold>”
\n id-not-found: “That announcement ID doesn’t exist. Please check your config.”
