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!

Issues

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!
@boombox0
It should! If it doesn't, please post a ticket with the error log and I'll try to make it work for 1.5.2!
@stgram
I'm currently looking for a way of implementing this, as it has been requested multiple times! (:
@Techknowsitall
I could add in a variable for that if you'd like, such as %pname% and then you'd just do /bm 10 Welcome Back %pname%.
Edit: Added in %pname% variable in newly updated file, awaiting approval! (:
Could you enable it for newly joined players after the message has been once set?
How Do U Do It So That It Shows The Players Name? Like I Wanna Do /bm 10 Welcome Back [Players Name]
Does it works with 1.5.2 ????
Colors that slides over text. would be cool if you can add. like hypixel server

Thanks for sharing this. Fantastic plugin
@McGamer1003
There are workarounds for such a feature that can be accomplished with simple timed commands plugins.
If your server is hosted, this can be done with the server's panel. MultiCraft, McMyAdmin, and NitroPanel are just some of them.
@MrNotinn
It works perfectly fine with 1.7.2+.
Are you sure you have BarAPI installed?
@gogogadgetrocking
These would be great features, but the developer might not have the time and there are workarounds.
You can do announcements every set minutes with simple announcer plugins. If your server is hosted, you can do this with the scheduled command section of MultiCraft, McMyAdmin, or any other one really.
As for the on join, it can be done with a plugin that runs commands when players join the game such as JoinCommands
Hope this helped!
add config file so we can display messages every set minutes?, and on join..
Make it so that everyone who logins can see the message rather then the ones that were on can only see it?
Plugin Showcase and installation tutorial! :D
