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!
Suggestions
If you have any suggestions for the plugin, please let me know them! I would love to make this plugin better by implementing your ideas!
Issues
If you are having an issue with the plugin, please submit a ticket. Do not post your problem in the comments, it will not be replied to!
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!
Please make it possible to send "/bm" commands through console. This is curicial for me!
How do i make it so it repeats the message as i want multiple messages e.c.t then they repeat
Is there any way you can make it so that it displays a message (say for 30 seconds), then another one (10 sec), then goes back to the first one again? I would like to replace scheduled announcer because the chat gets so cluttered and just looks bad.

Yes
Can you let it allow the Console (in my case CommandBlocks, they are counted the same) execute the bm commands?
I just get this error when trying to do so: (Bukkit/Spigot error, not bm)

@XxPoNaGeXx
Have you downloaded BarAPI into your plugins folder?
When I set permanent boss bars for different worlds, the bar does not update when I switch worlds. Also, the bars delete themselves it seems when all players disconnect. When someone connects again, the bars are gone. This is annoying, because I want each of my many worlds to have a different permanent bar at the top (survival world has a "No creative" reminder, etc.)
It dose not work on mac!
@redzulu1
Check the commands, there is a permanent message command.
Hey, If you can, please add a feature sot hat you can have infinate time on meaages. Thanks!
@maxlehot1234
Nice suggestion! I'll try to implement this in the next update!
Can you add per world guard region message please? That can be awesome
@luridftw32
@LiamoSay
Per world messages added in v1.2, pending approval!
@Solistika
I've been on, I just haven't logged in as I haven't seen a need to. Also, the lag spikes are most likely caused by invisible monsters being spawned by the players, which is how the plugin works.
On your crashing problem, is there an error message? The message you posted doesn't show me anything at all.
Some players report lag spikes whenever it changes the message, maybe something that could be optimized to better suit the client end?
To add onto that, something I JUST noticed after posting. Reloading the message plugin causes WorldBorder to temporarly crash.

Haha and something I JUST noticed after updating this again, the dev hasn't been online in over a month. I'm just going to go ahead and delete this plugin and save myself the future problems.
