SAnnounce

SAnnounce is a lightweight announcement system for Minecraft Fabric servers.

Create automatic server announcements, send instant messages to specific players, and manage everything through an easy administration panel or simple commands.

✨ Features

Announcement Types

SAnnounce supports three announcement styles:

• Chat: sends the message directly in chat
• Title: displays a large title on the player's screen
• Hotbar: displays the message above the player's hotbar

Color codes using & are supported.

Example:

&aWelcome to the server!
&6Event starting soon!
&cWarning!

Announcement Panel

Administrators can open the announcement manager with:

/adminannounce

If the administrator has SAnnounce installed on the client, the custom SAnnounce interface is opened.

If the administrator does not have the mod installed client-side, SAnnounce automatically uses a vanilla Minecraft GUI instead.

This means the client mod is completely optional.

From the panel, administrators can manage server announcements without editing configuration files.

Automatic Announcements

Create repeating announcements directly through commands:

/announce create <type> <seconds> <message>

Example:

/announce create chat 60 &aWelcome to our server!

/announce create hotbar 30 &eRemember to read the rules!

The number represents the announcement interval in seconds.

Available types:

chat
title
hotbar

Command autocomplete is available for announcement types.

Direct Player Announcements

SAnnounce can also send one-time announcements without adding them to the automatic announcement list.

Send to one player

/announce send <player> <type> <message>

Example:

/announce send Steve chat &aWelcome back!

Send to everyone

/announce send all <type> <message>

Example:

/announce send all hotbar &eThe event starts in 5 minutes!

This is especially useful for SMP servers, events, moderation and roleplay.

Titles & Subtitles

When using title with /announce send, you can define the title and subtitle separately:

/announce send <player|all> title title:<message> subtitle:<message>

Example:

/announce send Steve title title:&cWARNING subtitle:&eReturn to the city!

Or for everyone:

/announce send all title title:&6EVENT subtitle:&fStarting now!

Both fields support & color codes.

Per-World Announcements

Announcement lists are stored separately for each Minecraft world/save.

This prevents announcements created in one world from appearing in another.

For example:

Survival World
Survival announcements

Roleplay World
Roleplay announcements

Testing World
Testing announcements

Each save maintains its own announcement configuration.

📦 Recommended Versions

Recommended Fabric Loader: 0.18.4 or newer.

🖥️ Client-Side or Server-Side?

SAnnounce is designed primarily as a Server-Side mod.

Recommended

Server: SAnnounce installed
Client: Not required

Regular players do not need SAnnounce installed.

Administrators without the client mod can still use /adminannounce through the vanilla Minecraft interface.

Installing SAnnounce on both client and server enables the custom administration interface.

/adminannounce

Uses the custom SAnnounce interface when available or automatically falls back to a vanilla Minecraft GUI.

/announce create

/announce create <type> <seconds> <message>

Creates a repeating announcement.

Example:

/announce create chat 120 &bJoin our Discord!

/announce send

/announce send <player|all> <type> <message>

Example:

/announce send Steve hotbar &eYou have entered a protected area!

/announce send all chat &aThe server event has started!
