Every broadcast entry supports four display types. | Type | Where it appears | |---|---| | `CHAT` | Server chat, all players | | `ACTION_BAR` | Above the hotbar | | `TITLE` | Centre screen, large text | | `BOSSBAR` | Top of screen boss bar | **Action Bar** - Single line stays visible for `duration_seconds` (re-sent automatically, vanilla clears it after ~3 s without this). - Add a second line to show subtitle text in the title area alongside the action bar. - Add more lines to cycle through them in sequence, each held for `duration_seconds`. **Title** Supports up to 4 lines per set: 1. Main title 2. Subtitle 3. Action bar text *(optional)* 4. Replaces the subtitle while line 3 is active *(optional)* Add `lines1:`, `lines2:` … to cycle through multiple title screens within one broadcast entry, each displayed for `duration_seconds`. **Boss Bar** Multiple lines are displayed one after another as separate boss bars, each held for `duration_seconds`. **Broadcast controls** ```yaml broadcast_enabled: true broadcast_interval_seconds: 300 randomize_broadcast: false # true = random order instead of sequential ``` **Per-player-count intervals** — automatically adjust the broadcast interval based on online players: ```yaml players_5_interval_seconds: 240 players_10_interval_seconds: 180 players_25_interval_seconds: 120 ``` --- ## 🌅 MOTD Greet players with a personalized message when they join. Supports all formatting, placeholders, hover and click events, and atlas sprite tokens. ```yaml motd_enabled: true motd_messages: - lines: - "&+&bWelcome, %player%!" - "&7Playtime: &e%playtime% &7Last seen: &e%last_play_time%" ``` Use `/cm testmotd` to preview without rejoining. --- ##
