Who said Announcements had to be
plain?
Welcome to Kix's Chat Announcer's plugin page!
With this plugin, you can create beautiful automatic
announcements in chat, hassle-free.
Use simple commands all in-game to add broadcasts that will be randomly picked and announced in chat with the set interval of time.
The latest plugin build (7.2-RELEASE) is supported and confirmed working on Minecraft 1.12 - 1.17. The plugin as of 7.2 is no longer maintained in order to focus fully on the newer premium edition of the plugin.

- 5/5,
Great Plugin! Unlike MessageAnnouncer this actually WORKS! Glad it worked out so well for me! Deserves 5 stars :)

BadSuzy1
- 5/5,
I searched high and wide for an announcer that I worked as intended. I only have the free version of this one, but that being said it does work on 1.16.3. Very customizable, even not having checked out the premium. I love the fact that this has been made available, even if its only in its basic functions, as a free resource. As soon as I'm able, I intend to add this to my premium resources. Thank you very much for this plugin. 10/10 If you are looking for an announcer that is easy to configure and can look pretty, THIS is the one for you!

I love the plugin so far! My only issue is that certain placeholders arent working. The &player% and %deaths% are working but the %slayed-MOB-NAME% isnt working at all. any suggestions? will update on review on response!
-
Author's Response
Mobs after 1.12 are not supported for the built in mob placeholders due to how the API works. You might have better luck using PlaceholderAPI to gather those statistics for newer mobs! Thanks for the kind review btw! :D

- 5/5,
Really great plugin! :D Please keep it updated in future! Also, maybe consider having individual messages synced to a 24 hour clock?
-
Author's Response
Thank you for the kind review! This edition is no longer being maintained in order to focus fully on the premium version here https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/68425/
I can see about adding that to KAA++ in the future :D

One of the best if not the best one of the main broadcast plugins and for free! It has some advanced configs I really love. Please keep the good work, my server loves this plugin.

- 1/5,
it seems to have some special features, But its overly complicated, and has no option to edit it via config if you desire.
-
Author's Response
KixsAutoAnnouncer does have the ability to edit from the config. I'm not sure where you got that from. I feel a one star review is pretty uncalled for and harsh considering the 2 vague points you mentioned.
The plugin only takes a few minutes to learn, and any confusion can be cleared up with the intensely detailed "Commands" section on this plugins page.

Waffles552
- 5/5,
Amazing Plugin. Everything is very simple and clean and I'd recommend it.
The only annoying thing is that I can't get the premium version which has a feature I really need.-

I'm glad you like it!

Undoubtedly the best Automatic Chat Announcer out there. Support for this plugin is excellent and the plugin itself is rich in features.

Fantastic announcer! Simple yet complex. Beautiful yet spontaneous. I highly recommend! 1.13.2 Server and it's never looked better :D Dev is helpful and kind.

Author's Response
Thank you!

avilal
- 4/5,
A decent tool. I'd prefer to have more unified and simpler commands such as /an list, /an add <msg>, /an delete # and an reload etc. /an list would show a broadcast index/listing # so one could reference one with /an delete 2 where is the 2nd one that displays. Additional ideas: /an disable 3 (disables the 3rd announcment) with a followup /an enable 3 or /an enable all. But /an delete <exact broadcast> is a questionable design. My two cents. Otherwise great working being the first to 1.14.

Author's Response
Hi, thank you for the comments! There is a heavy update in development that re-works the entire plugin with new commands, better delete command (as you described) and more. Stay tuned for updates! :D
