Announcer
by Bombastiko
Announcer lets a server owner send broadcast messages to every player from a short dialog menu, with a choice of text colour.
What it does
Announcer is a server-side tool for in-game announcements. Its dialog menu opens quickly, so an operator can type a broadcast, pick one of five colours and send it without writing a chat command. The mod is also offered as a data pack for servers that do not run a mod loader.
The announcement can appear as a standard text chat window, as a large centred text screen, or as subtle text shown above the hotbar. A Pause Menu button opens the dialog, and the mod's settings sit in the Mod Menu under the Game Menu entry, where the Replace Inserted value avoids conflicts with other interfaces.
Announcer is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Files cover game versions 1.21.9 – 26.3, with 1.0+mod for 26.3 as the latest build for each loader. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may leave it out.
