the time is in ticks. if your server lag as hell then your interval is increased. your server must have 20 tps to work in time. bukkit dont have schedules in times, only ticks

Posted Apr 6, 2012Every time I set intervals, it never really goes by it. If I have 3 announcements set at a 1 minute interval, they'll go at something like 6 minutes... I changed the interval in the config and settings file.

Posted Apr 2, 2012Are there any plans to add a feature to let users disable announcements being show to them? This would be awesome, as it gets spammy to the more experienced players who have read the announcements fifty times. :)
