Message Type Configuration

Visibility:
  Action:
    Group Index:
      Global Parameters:
      Type-Specific Message Holder:
        Message Index:
          Type-Specific Parameters:

Enabled

Whether the message type is enabled.

Visibility

Message visibility is who will see the message. There is two types:

Public The message is visible to all users.
Private The message is visible to the player joining.

Action

The action is when the message is displayed. There are three types:

First-Join: The player joins for the first time.
Join: The player joins having played before.
Quit: The player leaves the server. This does not work with the Private visibility.

Group Index

The group index is a unique identifier for the group of messages. The identifier must be an integer. If it’s not, the message will not work. If a player has permissions for multiple groups, the group with the highest index will be used. The indexes don’t need to be sequential, but they must be unique per-action.

Global Parameters

Parameters are used to further configure when and to who the message is displayed.

Permission: The permission needed for this message to be displayed.
Radius: The radius around the player to display the message. Set to -1 to disable.
Delay: The delay, in ticks, before the message is displayed.
Max-Players: The maximum number of players online in which the message will be sent. Set to -1 to disable.
Min-Players: The minimum number of players online in which the message will be sent. Set to -1 to disable.

Message Index

The message index is a unique identifier for the message. When there is more than one message, CJM will pick a random one to send.
