Source Code:
Announcements is a modern reworked version of my old ServerAnnouncements plugin.

Commands

/createannouncement <id> <target(s)> [target] <text>
This will create an announcement to be broadcast later.

/announce <preset>
This announces the previously made announcement (preset).

/previewannouncement <preset>
Broadcasts this announcement to you in a way that it'll be presented to the targets.

/scheduleautoannounce <id> <condition>
Schedules an auto-announce trigger for an announcement.

/resetautoannounce <id>
Resets the active auto-announce trigger set from the announcement.

/editannouncement <id> <property> <newValue>
Edits a property of this preset. Same as setting it using config.yml, but with commands.


Permissions (a lot of them)

"announcements.general"
The default permission, allows everything the plugin has to offer. Operators are the default targets for this permission.

The plugin also supports a handy Global Placeholder System. This allows you to use global placeholders in any announcement you create.

Placeholders
There are a total of 8 global and one function specific placeholders.

# %playerCount% = Replaced by the amount of players currently online.
# %today% = Replaced by the current timestamp.
# %divider% = Replaced by the divider value in the customization section.
# %footer% = Replaced by the footer value in the customization section.
# %header% = Replaced by the header value in the customization section.
# %maxPlayers% = Replaced by the server's maximum amount of players.
# %bannedPlayers% = Replaced by the amount of banned players.
# %motd% = Replaced by the server MOTD.

# %player% = Replaced by the current player.
| - This placeholder can only be used when the correct context is used by the announcement.
| - For the record, the only context that supports %player% is
CONTEXT_SPECIFIC_PLAYER.

Customization

This plugin also supports a (tiny, little) bit of customization.

Reusable divider, footer and header
- By modifying the config's customization section, you can create your own divider, footer and header to reuse in your announcements.
- Placeholders are also supported, just in case it's needed.

That's, uhh... that's the end of the section for now. Suggestions are advised.

# I hope this plugin will be a better alternative for the previous generation of it.
