Development Assistance Screen Text?

Hi!

I saw a lot of servers when a player joins the server it will pop-up some text in the screen. Just like Hivemc or Mineplex:


I am using this for my minigame plugin and i wanna do the same thing, but how?

Thank you for reading and helping!
~Sorry for my bad english.

 

Will you be using 1.8 or higher on this minigame?

 

Yes!

 

The feature is called titles, and you can trigger it with an ordinary command block.

Code:

/title @p title {text:"Hello!"}

Dragnoz has a nice tool for generating the json of more complicated messages (e.g. involving color).

Then just wire it up to the PlayerJoinEvent.

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
    Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), "title " + event.getPlayer().getUniqueId() + " title {text:\"HiveMC\",color:aqua,bold:false,underlined:false,italic:false,strikethrough:false,obfuscated:false,extra:[{text:\".\",color:dark_gray,bold:false,underlined:false,italic:false,strikethrough:false,obfuscated:false,extra:[{text:\"EU\",color:green,bold:false,underlined:false,italic:false,strikethrough:false,obfuscated:false}]}]}");
    Bukkit.dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), "title " + event.getPlayer().getUniqueId() + " subtitle {text:\"Stay Updated\",color:green,bold:false,underlined:false,italic:false,strikethrough:false,obfuscated:false,extra:[{text:\": \",color:dark_gray,bold:false,underlined:false,italic:false,strikethrough:false,obfuscated:false,extra:[{text:\"HiveMC.com!\",color:light_purple,bold:false,underlined:false,italic:false,strikethrough:false,obfuscated:false}]}]}");
}
