SAnnounce

SAnnounce

SAnnounce is a lightweight announcement system for Minecraft Fabric servers.

Create automatic server announcements, send instant messages to specific players, and manage everything through an easy administration panel or simple commands.

✨ Features

Announcement Types

SAnnounce supports three announcement styles:

• Chat: sends the message directly in chat
• Title: displays a large title on the player's screen
• Hotbar: displays the message above the player's hotbar

Color codes using & are supported.

Example:

&aWelcome to the server!
&6Event starting soon!
&cWarning!

---

Announcement Panel

Administrators can open the announcement manager with:

/adminannounce

If the administrator has SAnnounce installed on the client, the custom SAnnounce interface is opened.

If the administrator does not have the mod installed client-side, SAnnounce automatically uses a vanilla Minecraft GUI instead.

This means the client mod is completely optional.

From the panel, administrators can manage server announcements without editing configuration files.

---

Automatic Announcements

Create repeating announcements directly through commands:

/announce create <type> <seconds> <message>

Example:

/announce create chat 60 &aWelcome to our server!

/announce create hotbar 30 &eRemember to read the rules!

The number represents the announcement interval in seconds.

Available types:

chat
title
hotbar

Command autocomplete is available for announcement types.

---

Direct Player Announcements

SAnnounce can also send one-time announcements without adding them to the automatic announcement list.

Send to one player

/announce send <player> <type> <message>

Example:

/announce send Steve chat &aWelcome back!

Send to everyone

/announce send all <type> <message>

Example:

/announce send all hotbar &eThe event starts in 5 minutes!

This is especially useful for SMP servers, events, moderation and roleplay.

---

Titles & Subtitles

When using title with /announce send, you can define the title and subtitle separately:

/announce send <player|all> title title:<message> subtitle:<message>

Example:

/announce send Steve title title:&cWARNING subtitle:&eReturn to the city!

Or for everyone:

/announce send all title title:&6EVENT subtitle:&fStarting now!

Both fields support & color codes.

---

Per-World Announcements

Announcement lists are stored separately for each Minecraft world/save.

This prevents announcements created in one world from appearing in another.

For example:

Survival World
Survival announcements

Roleplay World
Roleplay announcements

Testing World
Testing announcements

Each save maintains its own announcement configuration.
