BossBar Announcements

This is a Minecraft plugin that displays server-wide announcements as a boss bar with time-based progress indication.

What's Special About This Plugin: - Boss bar health visually represents remaining time - Support for minutes, hours, days, and infinite duration - Dynamic color changes as time runs out (green → yellow → red) - Automatic removal when time expires - New announcements automatically replace old ones - Persistent announcements that survive server restarts - Permission-based visibility control - Fully customizable messages with color code support - Tab completion for all commands

Commands: - /announcement create <time> <duration> <message> - Create a new announcement - /announcement remove - Remove the current announcement - /announcement info - Show current announcement information - /announcement reload - Reload the plugin configuration

Aliases: /announce, /bossbar

Time Units: - minutes, min, m - For short announcements (e.g., server restart warnings) - hours, hour, h - For events or maintenance windows - days, day, d - For long-term events - infinite, inf, forever - For permanent announcements (e.g., welcome messages)

Permissions: - bossbar.admin - Allows managing announcements (default: op) - bossbar.see - Allows seeing boss bar announcements (default: true)

Usage Examples: - /announcement create minutes 30 &aServer restart in 30 minutes! - /announcement create hours 2 &eDouble XP event for 2 hours! - /announcement create days 7 &6Holiday event active for 7 days! - /announcement create infinite 0 &bWelcome to our server! - /announcement remove - /announcement info

Configuration: The plugin includes a fully customizable `messages.yml` file where you can edit all plugin messages in English. Color codes are supported using & notation (e.g., &a for green, &c for red).

How It Works: When you create an announcement, a boss bar appears at the top of every player's screen. The boss bar's health (HP) decreases proportionally to the remaining time: - At start: 100% health (full time remaining) - Halfway through: 50% health - At end: The bar empties completely and disappears

The color changes automatically: - Green: More than 66% time remaining - Yellow: 33-66% time remaining - Red: Less than 33% time remaining
