invertoTimer v0.0.1 — Release Notes

This is the first public release of invertoTimer, a lightweight Velocity plugin for network-wide countdowns and scheduled events.

Highlights

invertoTimer introduces a simple but flexible timer system built around two core ideas: Timers (when an event happens) and Outputs (what players see and what actions run).

Timers

Timers can be scheduled using either:

• Cron (repeatable schedules)
• Fixed time (one-shot, absolute timestamp)

Showcases (Countdown Displays)

Timers can broadcast countdown information using multiple showcase types:

• Actionbar
• Bossbar
• Chat text
• Title showcase (supports both title and subtitle under a single showcases.title configuration)

Player-visible showcase text supports:

• Placeholders such as {remaining}, {days}, {hours}, {minutes}, {seconds}, {id}, {description}, {target}
• MiniMessage formatting for rich colors and styles
• {i18n:key} tokens for language-based text substitution

Actions (Scheduled Triggers)

Timers can trigger actions at offsets relative to the target time:

• Text action: message/actionbar/title/subtitle output
• Transfer action: send matched players to a target backend server
• Command action: run commands as console or as matched players

Player selection for transfer and command (executor=player) uses:

• transferee as a Java regex matching online player usernames (matches()), with ".*" selecting all players.

Server Limitations

Both global and per-timer server limitations are supported to control where timers apply (blacklist/whitelist by backend server name).

i18n

The plugin supports language files via .properties bundles and can be reloaded with configuration reload.
