📣 Broadcasts should earn attention

Players learn to ignore announcements when every message reaches everyone. AutoMessage makes server communication deliberate: every stream keeps its own schedule, every message chooses its own audience, and the text arrives in the language each player actually plays in - from one shared core running on Bukkit, Folia, Sponge, Velocity, Fabric and Minestom.

_{One announcement set, in game, on one server: a boss bar countdown, a full-screen title and a chat line.}

A complete announcement, start to finish

Greet returning veterans three seconds after they join - never on a timer, never the newcomers, and in their own language. Two files say all of it:

# scheduledMessages.yml - who gets it, and when
messages:
  - name: welcome-back
    trigger:
      type: JOIN
      delay: 3s
    rules:
      - type: PLAYTIME
        min: 10h

# lang/en.yml - what it says
announcements:
  welcome-back:
    - chat: "<gray>Welcome back, <aqua>{PLAYER}<gray>."
      sound: "entity.player.levelup MASTER 1.0 1.2"

And this is what the server does with them:

That is the whole feature set in miniature: an event instead of a clock, an audience instead of everyone, and text that lives beside every other translation.

⚖️ More than a rotating list

The tagline is not marketing. A rotator answers one question - what do I say next? - and sends the answer to everyone, in one language, on one clock.
