  "Messages": [
    {
      "Message": "<b><color:#FFD700>Server Notice</color></b> <color:#A8D8FF>Automatic messages are active.</color>",
      "IntervalSeconds": 300
    },
    {
      "Message": "<color:#7CFF7C>Formatting:</color> Use <b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i> and <m>monospace</m> text in your broadcasts.",
      "IntervalSeconds": 420

      "IntervalSeconds": 540
    },
    {
      "Message": "<color:#B388FF>Command tip:</color> Open your help menu with <m>/help</m> or check server commands in chat.",
      "IntervalSeconds": 660
    },
    {
      "Message": "<color:#66E3FF>Community:</color> Join us here: <link:https://discord.gg/your-server>Discord</link>",
      "IntervalSeconds": 780
    },
    {
      "Message": "<b><color:#00FFAA>Admin info:</color></b> Set <m>GlobalIntervalSeconds</m> above 0 to rotate all messages with one shared timer.",
      "IntervalSeconds": 900
    }
  ]
}

---

Global Interval Mode

Set GlobalIntervalSeconds to a value greater than 0 to send all messages with one shared timer in round-robin order.

Example:

{
  "GlobalIntervalSeconds": 300
}

When global interval mode is enabled, each message's IntervalSeconds value is ignored.

---

Individual Interval Mode

Set GlobalIntervalSeconds to 0 to use individual intervals for every message.

Example:

{
  "GlobalIntervalSeconds": 0
}

In this mode, every message uses its own IntervalSeconds value.

---

Notes

• Use /servermessages reload after editing the config.
• No server restart is required after config changes.
• Make sure your JSON file is valid.
• Replace the example Discord invite link with your own server invite.
