About Calendar Events

From SpigotMC

Call a custom event at specific dates and times

☛ Support chat on Discord


Do you want to:
Wish all players a happy weekend every Friday at 17:15? Run a command 1st of every month? Reset a mine via command every night at 1 am?
No problem!​


For MC < 1.14 please use CalendarEvents v1 (1.9.0)​

This plugin calls a custom event at configurable times in real time. You can tell the plugin what to do on those events or use it as a dependency and write your own listener (there is a small example for that below).

For using CalendarEvents in your own plugin there is an API to add and remove events. This ensures that whoever wants to use your plugin does not have to change anything in CalendarEvents configuration file and the events you want to listen to are really there and are scheduled. Read about the API below and take a look at the example project.

The default configuration file includes some example events and actions that get executed by the plugin when those events are called.


Possible plugin-intern actions are listed below (in your own listener everything is possible ). The placeholders %time%, %day%, %month% can be used in all actions.
  • Dispatch commands
    • Use %allOnline% to dispatch the command once for every player online at the event time. The placeholder %allOnline% will be replaced by the player names.
    • Use %allOffline% for offline players
    • Use %allPlayers% for online and offline players
  • Send a broadcast
  • Send a broadcast only to players with a specific permission
  • Send a Title
    • Optionally set a permission that receiving players need
  • Send an Action bar
    • Optionally set a permission that receiving players need

Configuration file with some examples:
Code (YAML):

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
#                                                                              #
#                          Calender Events config                              #
#                                                                              #
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #

# All times int this configuration file are interpreted in the timezone of your server

# the following events are examples for you to understand how to add custom events with this plugin.
# To let the plugin do something on these events, go to the section 'listener'.
# For more complex action on events, use the API.
# Please visit www.spigotmc.org/resources/35536/ for more information on the API.
events :
  # The event label needs to be unique and is used as its identifier in the 'listener' section
  newMonth:
   timing :
    # This will get called on every first of the month.
      # A date with just two numbers is interpreted as any such day in any month.
      # You can add more dates to the '01' just put a ',' in between (e.g. "01,05,25")
     occasion : "01"
      # 24h format! Event gets called in the first second of the given minute.
      # Each day goes from 00:00 to 23:59 ;)
     time : "00:00"

  # Event called on the first of every week
  newWeek:
   timing:
     occasion : "monday"
     time : "00:00"

  # Event called on the first and second of every year
  newYearAndSecond:
   timing :
    # A date without a year gets called every year
     occasion : "01.01, 02.01"

  # Event fired on christmas 2022
  christmas2022:
   timing:
     occasion : "24.12.2022"
     time : "12:00"

  # Event called every day, every two hours
  everyDayEveryTwoHours:
   timing :
    # 'every day' gets translated to 'monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, sunday'
