Have you ever been baffled by just how complicated some announcer plugins are? Do you want really simple per-world, per-group, and even per-permission announcements? Want commands to be run before or after announcements? Well this is the plugin for you!

SimpleAnnouncer only has 1 command with 4 options:

/sa - Displays the help page - SimpleAnnouncer.sa
/sa start - Starts announcements - SimpleAnnouncer.start
/sa stop - Stops announcements - SimpleAnnouncer.stop
/sa reload - Reloads the plugin - SimpleAnnouncer.reload

NOTICE: You need the permission: SimpleAnnouncer.sa to use any of the other options. You can also use the wildcard SimpleAnnouncer.* which gives access to everything

The configuration file for this plugin has become too large to display here. You can find the full configuration file here. There you will also find information about how to use per permission/world/group announcements, as well as information on how to run commands before and after announcements.

You can use all the colour and style codes in the Tag and your Announcements! So all you have to do is add your messages to the Announcements section and let the Plugin do the work.

@sonicscream

Right sorry for the delay, I've had stuff distracting me from coding this... It'll be out tonight.

@Inspektura43

It's all in the configuration. Should be easier to understand in V1.2

@gertjan206

Will do! It just uses all the usual colour codes, but I'll add &bold ect...

I would use this plugin if it didn't have the [SimpleAnnouncer] prefix before every announcement.

I'm interested in using this plugin, however after installing it I cannot find the announcements.txt? I was looking for a deployment folder, but it doesn't create one.
