Books & Announcements Troubleshooting
Common Mistakes
- Timed messages skip first run after reload — prevents spam on
/chc reload. Users report "announcement didn't show after reload" — it will show on the next cycle - MOTD needs slight delay for client readiness — set
Motd.Delay: 1 secondminimum. Without delay, the book may not display because the client isn't ready - Book limits: 100 pages, 256 chars per page — Minecraft protocol limits. Exceeding these causes errors
- Timer resets on
/chc reload— all announcement cycle states reset, and the first run is skipped (see above) /chc a imageis for one-time broadcasts only — it sends an image announcement immediately to all online players. It cannot be placed inside format files or MOTD configs. To show images in MOTD or other formats, useImage_File,Image_Head, orImage_Urlkeys on the format part (see chat-formatting skill)
