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!

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!
Would it be possible to make multiple messages that change every X number of seconds and runs in a loop? Like:
Vote for Points! (20 second delay) (clears) (adds new message) Dont do drugs (20 second delay) (clears) (adds new message)
I still cant get over that the command is BM xD like Bowel Movement :3
When I put messages in the config they don't show up ingame...
So.. its been months now since people have been reporting the error and this plugin not working. Tried on both 1.6.4 and 1.7.2 > is this just not compatible with forge?
Latest BARAPI installed along with this mod. I've tried multiple versions of both, yet it still receives the same NULL java error and shuts down the plugin.

Hi, creating another line is not possible in Minecraft, so no plugin would be able to do this.
How to add a new line? It just allows roughly 15 words and cuts the rest out? how to create a new line?
Sorry everyone, I'll update the plugin within a few days!

You should be able to use it through the console, I'll have to check up on this.

You need BarAPI, which is a required dependency, without that plugin, you cannot use mine. You can get it here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/bar-api/

I know, it wasn't meant to persist over logins. I currently don't know if I'll add a permanent message that stays over login. A solution is to find a plugin runs a command whenever a player enters the server, and have it run /bm permanent <message>.
@MrGassman1234
This will be coming in the next update! (:
@LavaGaming
I'll look into this, should be pretty easy!
Once again, my apologies. An updated version should be out soon!
Love this plugin! But is it possible to add some kind of code to show the player's username, for example, %username%?
@TheOfficialCincminc
I get the exact same message, please tell me if you have found out how to fix it!
Please allow commands through console! It's very important!
should add a way to reload plugins config without restarting server also are announcements not added yet?
@saxons12
You just leave out the / in /bm
@TheNathanG
The permanent feature doesn't work if someone logs out and logs back in
@TheOfficialCincminc
Do you have BarAPI?
Im getting this in my console : [09:36:31 WARN]: [BossBarMessage] [BossBarMessage] Could not load required dependency: BarAPI! [09:36:31 WARN]: [BossBarMessage] [BossBarMessage] Stopping plugin! [09:36:31 INFO]: [BossBarMessage] Disabling BossBarMessage v1.2
