Welcome to the new and improved Velocity Broadcast Reborn

Hello and thank you for checking out my little plugin here. I know my track record with my last plugin (Velocity Broadcast) did not pan out. Well I took all the complaints, issues, massive bugs, and errors from that page and decided to remedy it and hopefully gain your trust as a dev back. So without further ado, here it is. Velocity Broadcast Reborn!

Introduction

Welcome to the SpigotMC page for the plugin Velocity Broadcast Reborn. This is a complete rewrite of my previous Velocity Broadcast plugin. I reworked and rebuilt the plugin from scratch. Due to the fact a ton of promised features sadly did not work out correctly. The biggest complaint being permissions. Well, I did it. I was able to fix a few old grievances and even add some new features.

Velocity Broadcast Reborn is a unique and lightweight plugin that allows people with specific permission nodes/groups with permission nodes assigned to LuckPerms for Velocity to broadcast a message across the entire network. This is useful for events, maintenance announcements, and more. I do plan to add more features one day, but for now this is what we have. Light, simple, and easy to use. Please use the Issue Tracker to report any issues or feedback about the plugin.

Dependencies

• The latest stable build of Velocity
• A main hub/lobby server (Preferably running Paper, but it should work on any type of server. Including modded)
• A secondary/multiple servers on the network to receive full compatibility

Setup

1. Download the latest version from Spigot or the Releases page on the right
2. Upload the plugin file to your ***Proxy's*** plugin folder (Do not upload it to the hub server's plugin folder)
3. Restart the proxy
4. In the console of your proxy server, run the following command(s) depending on your preferred usage. (4a for users specifically, 4b for groups)
4a. lpv user {username} permission set {permission node} true {context (optional)}
4b. lpv group {group} permission set {permission node} true {context (optional)}
4c. Or you can do it in GUI mode with the command "lpv editor"
5. Restart your proxy again
6. Now the setup is complete, enjoy!

Commands and Permissions

• /vb - When typed on its own will show the help page - No permission needed
• /vb {message} - When typed and paired with a message, it will send a message across all servers on a network (Legacy Color Codes and MiniMessage compatible) - vb.broadcast
• /vp prefix {new prefix} - This allows whoever has the required permission to change the prefix in front of the message broadcasted - vb.admin
• /vb reload - Allows people with the correct permission node to reload the config if it was edited manually - vb.admin

Currently due to the limitations of Velocity, you can not run the commands while being opped. You MUST have the correct permission nodes for it to work.
