This is a Minecraft plugin that displays server-wide announcements as a boss bar with time-based progress indication.

What's Special About This Plugin:

• Boss bar health visually represents remaining time
• Support for minutes, hours, days, and infinite duration
• Dynamic color changes as time runs out (green → yellow → red)
• Automatic removal when time expires
• New announcements automatically replace old ones
• Persistent announcements that survive server restarts
• Permission-based visibility control
• Fully customizable messages with color code support
• Tab completion for all commands

Commands:

• /announcement create - Create a new announcement
• /announcement remove - Remove the current announcement
• /announcement info - Show current announcement information
• /announcement reload - Reload the plugin configuration

Aliases: /announce, /bossbar

Time Units:

• minutes, min, m - For short announcements (e.g., server restart warnings)
• hours, hour, h - For events or maintenance windows
• days, day, d - For long-term events
• infinite, inf, forever - For permanent announcements (e.g., welcome messages)

Permissions:

• bossbar.admin - Allows managing announcements (default: op)
• bossbar.see - Allows seeing boss bar announcements (default: true)

Usage Examples:

• /announcement create minutes 30 &aServer restart in 30 minutes!
• /announcement create hours 2 &eDouble XP event for 2 hours!
• /announcement create days 7 &6Holiday event active for 7 days!
• /announcement create infinite 0 &bWelcome to our server!
• /announcement remove
• /announcement info

Configuration: The plugin includes a fully customizable messages.yml file where you can edit all plugin messages in English. Color codes are supported using & notation (e.g., &a for green, &c for red).

How It Works: When you create an announcement, a boss bar appears at the top of every player's screen. The boss bar's health (HP) decreases proportionally to the remaining time:

• At start: 100% health (full time remaining)
• Halfway through: 50% health
• At end: The bar empties completely and disappears

The color changes automatically:

• Green: More than 66% time remaining
• Yellow: 33-66% time remaining
• Red: Less than 33% time remaining
