Description from the author on Modrinth

CustomAnnouncements

Big title and chat announcements for your whole server, sent with one command.

Run /announce and every player sees a large gold ANNOUNCEMENT title on their screen, with your message underneath it. The same message also appears in chat at the same moment.


Features

  • Title and chat together: both show on the same tick, with no duplicate messages
  • Full color support: all &0-&f color codes and &l bold, &m strikethrough, &n underline, &o italic, &r reset
  • Hex colors: use &#RRGGBB for custom colors
  • Mix and match: use as many colors and formats as you like in one message
  • Four command names: /announcements, /announce, /brodcast, /broadcast
  • Fully configurable: title text, color, bold, subtitle color, fade-in/stay/fade-out timing, chat prefix and format, and every message
  • Toggle each part: turn the title or the chat message on or off separately
  • Live reload: edit the config and run /customannouncements reload, with no restart needed
  • Console friendly: the console can send announcements too
  • Lightweight: built on Paper's Adventure API with no extra dependencies
