Scheduled Announcer is a very simple tool, which only does what's its name told us. It automatically sends a broadcast out of a list controlled by a scheduled.

Features:

• Sends Scheduled Broadcast to all Players
  
• Easy to configure by 'config.yml' or ingame with the '/announce' command.
  
• Supports colors (&1, &2... &9, &a, &b... &f) and newlines with &n.
  
• Supports executing commands inside Announcements. (Like "Now it will become day!&n/time day")
  
• Supports newest Bukkit permissions system!

Setup:

1. Download the latest Release
   
2. Upload it into your plugin/ directory
   
3. Restart or reload your server
