Boss Bar Message
Boss Bar Message
Boss Bar Message provides an easy to understand way of sending messages to players via the boss bar. Administrators can communicate alerts and messages to players in an unobtrusive manner, keeping the chat free for player messages. Here are a few examples of what a Boss Bar Message could look like.
As you can see, Boss Bar Message provides a very lightweight way of communicating with players.
Features
These are just a few of the features of Boss Bar Message:
- Color and formatting codes are usable in any message!
- Very easy to learn command syntax. (Only 3 base command arguments!)
- Custom bar color and type for each message.
- Custom time length for each message.
- Player-specific (private message) sending functionality.
- No visible withers or ender dragons!
Suggestions
If you have any suggestions for the plugin, please let me know them! I would love to make this plugin better by implementing your ideas!
Issues
If you are having an issue with the plugin, please submit a ticket. Do not post your problem in the comments, it will not be replied to!
Metrics
This plugin uses the bStats metrics system.
By default, bStats sends the following data:
- Your server's randomly generated UUID
- The amount of players on your server
- The online mode of your server
- The bukkit version of your server
- The java version of your system (e.g. Java 8)
- The name of your OS (e.g. Windows)
- The version of your OS
- The architecture of your OS (e.g. amd64)
- The system cores of your OS (e.g. 8)
- bStats-supported plugins
- Plugin version of bStats-supported plugins
To disable metrics, simply set enabled to false in the config.yml file located in the bStats plugin folder.
More information available here.
Roadmap
A few of the upcoming features:
- Animated messages in the boss bar!
- Only messages to users with a specific permission.
- More flags!

Posted Dec 16, 2013Like for example
Bar Display time(in seconds):10
Message Interval(in seconds):60
Messages:
'Hello everyone'
'This is'
'A test'
'of Boss Bar Message'
So the messages would rotate every 60 seconds :)

Posted Dec 6, 2013Yes, you should add ability to send a sort of private message using the boss bar, directly to one person or group or in only one world.

Posted Oct 31, 2013Maybe u could add something to show how long it will be displayed in the health of the bar like: /bm 5 test will display for 5 seconds and then u see the health bar gets filled up and when it is full the 5 seconds are over.
I think that would be great and usefull because its moving so players will look at it :)

You can always use other plugins which then run the /bm <seconds> <message> on a delay.

Posted Oct 29, 2013@ashash1509 is right. You should definitely add a configuration file where we can configure when and what gets broadcasted, as well as for how long. If this plugin became automatic I would love you forever! Thanks.
