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.

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!
This does not work on 1.6.4...
@TheNathanG When will the 1.7.2 Version be coming out?
Can you add a config for infinite messages?
@LeeoSantos
It's because it's made for 1.6.4
Minecraft crash in server 1.5.2 When I add a message!!
Like for example
Bar Display time(in seconds):10
Message Interval(in seconds):60
Messages:
'Hello everyone'
'This is'
'A test'
'of Boss Bar Message'
So the messages would rotate every 60 seconds :)
It would be nice if you could add the ability for automatic messages that are sent every minute(user defined in config)
Please update and add some of these features that these people suggested. Good plugin btw
Yes, you should add ability to send a sort of private message using the boss bar, directly to one person or group or in only one world.
Hello, i'm make a tutorial video about your plugin in French, if you want add this ;) Link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAzYM69ljfk
Thanks, and good plugin !
Nice Plugin, but doesn't work with the new CraftBukkit 1.7.2 Developement Build! Please Update,If do you have Time :p
This plugin is amazing! but it not seems to work in the new craftbukkit/spigot that have been released today/yesterday due the code changing. hope it will update soon!
Nice Plugin ,but pls add AutoMessages, which you can change in the config fyle :)
Just a tip: add that when u relog the message will be still there :3
Could you also make an option for world specificity? That would be great!
Please add the ability for the private messages as fast as you can! Awesome plugin :)
Maybe u could add something to show how long it will be displayed in the health of the bar like: /bm 5 test will display for 5 seconds and then u see the health bar gets filled up and when it is full the 5 seconds are over.
I think that would be great and usefull because its moving so players will look at it :)
@sdjh324
You can always use other plugins which then run the /bm <seconds> <message> on a delay.
@ashash1509 is right. You should definitely add a configuration file where we can configure when and what gets broadcasted, as well as for how long. If this plugin became automatic I would love you forever! Thanks.
Some way to define a list of messages to use this is am automatic broadcasting plugin would be great!
