AutoMessages999

AutoMessages999 is a powerful, customizable Bukkit plugin that automatically sends messages to players on your server — on a timed interval and/or when they join. It's built for performance, flexibility, and precision, with full support for permissions, world-specific filtering, per-message configuration, and a wide range of dynamic placeholders.

Features
Timed Interval Messages

Send messages every X seconds to all players, or only to those with specific permissions.

Group multiple messages under shared intervals.

Shuffle/randomize messages if desired.

Per-message world restrictions (e.g. only in world_nether).

Configurable delay before the first message after server start.

Automatically skips broadcasting if no eligible players are online.

Fully throttled debug logging to avoid spam in console.

Player Join Messages

Show one or more welcome messages when a player joins.

Supports global messages or world-specific messages.

Optionally display multiple randomized messages per player join.

Rich placeholder support for personalizing each message.

Permission System

Global Permission: automessages.use – required to receive any automatic message.

Per-Message Permission: Custom per-message permission tags (optional).

Admin Commands:

/automessages reload – Reloads config and reschedules messages.
