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 second minimum. 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 image is 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, use Image_File, Image_Head, or Image_Url keys on the format part (see chat-formatting skill)
