Data

The plugin currently only handles two files: config.yml and messages.json.

The config.yml holds the configuration for the plugin, see Configuration for more details

The messages.json holds each message to be printed into chat. Removing/Adding a message from this list will remove/add it from/to the game (After /messenger reload or server restart).

Message Format

A message can be formatted using MiniMessage. If %player% is included in the message, it will be replaced with the player's username.

API

The plugin offers a simple API which allows for adding new messages.

To add it as a dependency if using maven, add the following to your pom.xml:

<repository>
    <id>jitpack.io</id>
    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.funnyboy-roks</groupId>
    <artifactId>Messenger</artifactId>
    <version>Tag</version>
</dependency>

Otherwise, checkout the jitpack repo for other systems

Usage example

// construct a new message that says "hello " + playername
// and is sent to all players
Message msg = new Message(
    p -> Component.text("hello ").append(p.displayName()),
    p -> true
);

// Add a message to the list
Messenger.api().addMessage(msg);

Future To-Do

• PAPI support - If there is interest
• More configuration options
