BossBarTimer
Give players personal countdown timers and stopwatches displayed as a live BossBar — admins can push timers to all players or target specific individuals with a single command.
⏱ BossBarTimer
BossBarTimer is a clean, lightweight and fully configurable BossBar timer plugin for your Minecraft server. Players can start their own personal countdown or stopwatch with a single command — only they see it. Admins can push a timer to every online player at once, or target a specific player individually. No database, no complex setup, just drop it in and go.
Every color, title, sound and message is controlled through a single config.yml. The BossBar color shifts automatically from yellow to red as a countdown nears zero, tick sounds play in the final seconds and a finish sound fires when the timer ends.
