Hi there,
Thank you for your review, I haven't seen you in our support channels to see if we can solve your issue.
I would like to invite you to our Discord server to resolve your issue.
Version: 1.4.0
Nice plugin! This announce plugin is much better than I've seen before, worth a try!
Thank you for your review, great to hear that Insane Announcer is a good fit for you.
Version: 1.3.0
The best announcement plugin i've ever used. Very easy to edit and setup the messages and it only takes a few minutes. You don't need to open any configs or anything as there is a menu. Just wow
I like this plugin a lot, it works well. One thing I wish it had was the option to just have set intervals. So it would just display a message every so often, because right now it is really hard to manage as they can accidentally all announce at once.
For example a config option can be set to display 1 announcement every 30 minutes. So it would cycle through the list of announcements, displaying 1 announcement every 30 minutes.
Insanely overengineered. No YML file, you need to do everything in the GUI which is as clunky as it can be. Doesn't even do new lines as far a I could be bothered to find out.
It's a super basic announcer plugin in fancy clothes that do nothing except hog resources unnecessarily. You configure an announcer plugin ONCE and that's it. Why do you need to spend resources to make item text become an animated gradient?
Essential for getting the news and alerts out across your network. This is their free plugin. If you haven't yet, please consider trying their 8 paid plugins. I have purchased every single plugin from them and I use them across all my servers on a hourly basis all year round.
This plugin is a good broadcast/announcer plugin overall. My only issue with it is, you can not edit messages in the configs, and if you want to edit an existing message you need to retype it from scratch. This causes headaches and is a large inconvenience.
If any update comes out that allows editable messages through configs, or at least saves your Announcements while editing via the GUI, it would be worth 5/5 stars.
Hey!
thanks for your feedback but this section isn’t a Feature request section. We won’t allow config modification we never did in any of our plugins but of course GUI editing.
Feel free to join our discord so we can figure something out.
Version: 1.1.4
This is a great plugin! I am thankful for it.
The only suggestion I would have is the ability to edit messages quickly without having to re-type the message from scratch.
It's amazing and free. I can highly recommend this plugin, I would 100% pay for this plugin that's how good it is. Support is quick, bug patches are relatively quick, and most things just seem to work.
Have you ever wanted to send messages in chat and not have to manually type them each time or say you want to send reminders in chat well then this is the plugin for you. Its all very well put in a GUI system that makes the plugin super easy to use
This plugin is all around amazing thus far. HEX support, auto center text on lines you want centered.
FULL customization of lines.
The GUI in game to create the messages keeps getting better and more advanced. The author is active, friendly and quick to fix issues and add new features.
You cannot beat FREE. And this is a plugin I would pay for.
Congratulations to the author on a plugin well done.
I'm leaving this bad review for a few reasons. I learned recently that the plugin is under new development with another author (which is fine) however, about a quarter of the features it should have do not actually work.
Sadly one of the main features I look for in an announcer plugin is the ability to either have the plugin auto center my text or be able to manually center the text. Sadly, this plugin doesn't allow for either of those things. No centered text for an announcer plugin is an automatic loss for me, as I believe that announcements look better centered and look different than chat messages.
I will keep up with this plugin because it is still in early "new" development. And the only reason I didn't give a 1 star is because the GUI is beautiful, the plugin and GUI are very easy to use. Like a below comment, I also think that adding a configurable YML would be beneficial for many reasons.
I appreciate that this is a free plugin, but some features missing just don't make "free" worth it.
This would easily be the best announcer plugin if it wasn't for one thing. There's no file editing. No export or import YAML. This pains me man. I love GUIs and it's very intuitive but it makes bulk edits impossible. Apart from that one big issue this completely stomps on any other announcer plugin. AND it's free. Just please for the love of God add YAML support in some way.
Its seems like a good plugin but after a restart all changed, the server instantly crashes after a user try to join, details:

Hey, please feel free to join our discord so we can help you directly with your personal issue. Without joining our discord or contacting us .. obviously we can’t fix such issues
Version: 1.0.6
Best announcer plugin. You can sync it throughout your whole network, And It is very customizable.
yea, so 5 minutes in and this crashed my server. Then proceeded to crash it every restart, had to delete the plugin to start the server again.

Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
Deja que te diga cosas al oído
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
Despacito
Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito
Firmo en las paredes de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito (sube, sube, sube)
(Sube, sube)
Super simple and easy. Don't have to mess around with weird config files or fitting it inside of weird placeholders. Very straightforward and even offers groups. Love it! <3
Good plugin, but can sou add support for saying a message with a placehóder and command? Like Server is restarting in %1 minutes. And the command executed will be /stop and you will be able to pick a number that will replace the %1 ?
This was the best, but it took too long to find this awesome plugin. I just knew about it yesterday and I am already using it, Only took 6 minutes to understand every functionality. The best Announcer plugin !
I like it, but when I saw the configuration, it does not allow me to configure the ads and nothing super disappointed, this add-on is useless, I feel like crying, it also does not let me edit the time of each message all come out at once, what the hell is this plugin
Great plugin. But in 1.15.2 the color is not working properly. After adding the colorcode the message looks like "Amessage" the A is not from me. It comes everytime by itself.
Thanks for the review! Use the Message Sets feature to schedule Messages that won't overlap. Click the pickaxe in the bottom right corner.
Version: 3.0.1
Very good plugin, but sometimes the messages will be sent all together, it you set the timers just right, you can get the messages to overlap, like having a message every 1.5h and another every 2h and another every 3h, the common multiple of these 3 is 6, so every 6 hours all of them will be sent at once, and every 3 hours the 1.5h one and the 3h one will be sent, because 3h is twice the 1.5h one. It would be nice to have a random choice of messages to be repeated every n hours and a way to set so the messages won't be overlapped, somehow one taking precedence of another.
Best auto announcer plugin. Great work, can't wait to see more projects by you! Hope this helps! Just a suggestion, you should expand to more earlier versions.
Could you shoot me a message describing this in a little more detail? I'm not quite sure I understand.
Version: 2.5.0
Dev walks the walk, not only did he fix an issue I had, he added protection for the community, can't say enough nice things about him and his work, awesome!
Thanks, mate! I'm glad you've caught on to how I care for my peeps. I just wish I had gotten your issue fixed sooner. Completely blanked for a few days. Cheers!
Version: 2.4.3
Amazing plugin, no errors great developer.
at the start, it was hard to understand but the tutorial on the page is enough running it on my server atm.
Thanks for the great review! Glad you got it figured out. I'll have another video tutorial added in the future that hopefully helps with getting started.
Version: 2.3
This plugin is simply PERFECT, I had 0 issues while other 1.13 plugins do, the GUI is really user-friendly and you can do anything you want to the messages such as adding sounds, that's a nice detail that most of the announcing plugins don't do. Keep the good job, this is one of the best plugins I have installed ever :)
Its a Great Plugin would recommend it to others but While Making a Line How do i make a Empty line so i can space out the Messaage with the Border Thanks
Thank you! I can't wait to make it even better. Cheers.
Version: 2.1
Thanks so much for making this plugin and allowing us to use it for free! This is way better than all the other premium announcers out there and this is just what I needed TYSM! Highly recommend using this to all server owners.
Supporting a lot of different plugins to create a decent check like that would be out of the scope of this project. What you could do is use a plugin that can add events to different commands (like CMI, Hydra, or Conditional Commands) which runs a command with whatever permission plugin you're using to give the player the permission to see each individual message.
For example, I have a command built with Hydra that teleports a player to a build arena. When they use that command, it removes the Parrot Announcer permissions to see certain Messages, and when they use a different command to TP back home Hydra adds those permissions back to their account.
Another example would be to use Craftbook's (or similar plugin's) "Command Items" which runs the command to add/remove the Parrot Announcer permissions when a player picks up or uses a specific item.
There are lots of options out there using other plugins, so I probably won't be adding that functionality into Parrot Announcer.
Thanks for the positive review!
Version: 1.20
FANTASTIC.May i have the plugin reposted on Chinese Forum,Of course i will make your name on the page including the donation link.
Great plugin! Although, I did have a problem with centering my message with bold text - also, please add the randomized messages that @Dibz82 suggested in the review below. Overall its a great plugin!
Thanks for the review! Could you message me about the bold text issue?
I've added the Message Sets feature in version 1.20, and will add an option to randomly select a Message from the Set in a near-future update. Right now it selects them in sequential order. Hope that helps!
Version: 1.18
I love this plugin and cannot wait until messages can be randomised. Once thats in, 5 stars for sure!
Thanks for the review! I've added the Message Sets feature in version 1.20, and will add an option to randomly select a Message from the Set in a near-future update. Right now it selects them in sequential order. Hope that helps!
Version: 1.16
Excelente actualizacion, Te felicito sigue asi, ahora solo falta que coloques traducciones a otros idiomas. Pero en general ese complemento es excelente. Tambien invito a los usuarios a mi servidor Ip: gearscraft.es Les gustara.
Adios y Muchas Gracias.
Really great plugin! The amount of effort put in is amazing, shows there are still some fantastic developers in this community that are in it for the community <3
Plugin works great and is probably the best announcer plugin out there
Thanks for such a brilliant review! There are definitely a few of us out here building plugins that help server owners succeed. Glad to be named as a community-lover. :)
Version: 1.15
10/10 THE BEST ANNOUNCER PLUGIN I'VE EVER COME ACROSS. 100% hands down blow away by what you can do with this plugin. I absolutely want to see more come from this Author cause he hasn't made a whole lot of plugins. Thank you for blessing us with this amazing announcer plugin
Awesome review, thank you! Very encouraging. I'll keep building as long as you guys like the result. :)
Version: 1.12
Simply amazing. A modern, super intuitive way of managing and creating announcements. The only feature it lacks for me is "sets" which would be extremely helpful for me to just make a list of broadcast and have them cycle through each other. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for the great review! I'll be sure to add message sets in the future. :)
Version: 1.12
Sinceramente este complemento me ha parecido uno de los mejores, Lo explorare un poco mas, pero estoy muy encantado de usar este plugin en mi servidor. (gearscraft.es)
I am really happy that I found this plugin. I can't believe that I found a plugin that is editable via a GUI/in-game. The best part is, it's free! Really enjoy this announcer plugin. No bugs literally works perfectly.
Super grateful for the great review! Glad you're enjoying the plugin. Feel free to send me any feature requests if you'd like to see anything new added.
Version: 1.8
You can also instead appear a message can automatically do to execute a command by the console automatically? I'm sorry for the english. '' google translate ''
Thank you for the 5 stars and feature request! I've added it to my list of future updates. :)
Version: 1.8
hahaha no way how u made this ?
ingame u can create Message with a custom cooldown (sec,min,hour,day)
I delete automessage and put ur plugin u are awesome
LOL Amazing Plugin and so easy to setup! Works perfectly!
Thank you a lot! Keep it updated :) My idea: The ability to select different sounds witch play when a message is announced?
I've actually gotten that feature request from a few people. I'll move it up the priority list. :)
Version: 1.5
Awesome resource but just a couple of things. Would be nice to see messages being a 100% customisable. Also configuration can be a little confusing and would be nice to convert symbols from § to & but that is of course the preference of the spigot community and minecraft owners overall. I also recommend adding MVdWPlaceholderAPI for placeholders too, but up to you
Also when you add many days and have many random minutes, seconds etc for the announcer the timer seems to be buggy and it doesn't go down per second. It may go down by 2 seconds sometimes even 4. Not sure if this is a bug or needs to be fixed?
Hi there, thank you for the positive review and comments! I'm going to look into those suggestions - would you mind DMing me or joining Discord to discuss those bugs, your Spigot version, etc?
I'm happy to continue to add support for more customizations and I'm always looking for suggestions. Thank you, again! :)
Version: 1.3.1
Great plugin, I recently installed it again and its amazing. Very easy to use and the Author fixed the issue.
Thanks for the 5 star review! I'm grateful for your early feedback which helped improve the plugin, and for the video review!
Version: 1.2
Perfection is the word. Easy to use, a nice GUI to save time... Best announcer overall (better than premium ones) and one of the best plugins in this platform. Amazing work!
Thank you so much for this great review! I think you'll also like the next update, which has a more fine-tuned timing selector, and you'll be able to set permissions for each message to decide which players see.
Cheers!
Version: 1.1
Disappointed in this plugin. Looked great! Typed in the message I wanted then it asked for a number for minutes. I typed in "15" then it said "That is not a number". So I typed close to get rid of the message on my screen and that didn't work either. Now I have removed the plugin I still have a big message stuck on my screen.
Please use the appropriate support channels to describe bugs. I'll be more than happy to assist and get a fix over to you.
To solve your current problem, have you restarted your server after removing the plugin? That should clear the message from your view.
I will add "close" and "cancel" as a way to stop the dialogue in the very next update.
I'm looking into the issue with typing "15", but that seems very strange to me. If you could please message me so I can get a little more information from you, I can make the appropriate fixes and get this running properly on your end.
