SnuggleAutoMsgReceiver (on each Paper server)

Every few minutes a short tip or reminder shows up in chat, starting with a pink and blue SnuggleSMP tag. The same message goes out on every server at once, so everyone sees it no matter where they are.

What you'll see

Messages are things like where to get help, reminders to be kind and ask before you interact, and pointers to things worth checking out. By default one is posted every 5 minutes, picked at random, and the same one won't come up twice in a row.

Servers with nobody on them are skipped.

For staff

There are no commands. Everything is set in the proxy's config.yml:

Setting What it does Default
enabled Turns the messages on or off. true
interval_seconds Time between messages. Anything under 15 counts as 15. 300
mode random or sequential (in order, then start again). random
prefix Text put in front of every message. SnuggleSMP tag
only_to_servers_with_players Skip empty servers. true
messages The list of messages. three starter tips

Messages and the prefix use MiniMessage formatting, like <aqua>/help</aqua>. Config changes need a proxy restart.

Each Paper server needs the small SnuggleAutoMsgReceiver plugin installed. The proxy picks the message and the receiver shows it to the players on that server.
