/announce - Bedrock players can't "click to join", consider making this more compatible
Submitted by redstoneisgreat
Suggestion
If a Java player uses /announce, Bedrock players CAN see it, but they are unable to "click to join". If they want to join the gamemode, they have to go to the hub, then go to the specific gamemode.
To my knowledge this is not a new issue. It's a limitation of Bedrock.
I think it would be nice if this was taken into account in some way. A few ideas
1. Change the message to say "Click to join or type (command)". (/smp, /rpg, /facs, etc). This would require commands to be added to directly join each SG or Challengers lobby which may or may not be problematic to implement. One downsides is that it does make the announce message a little longer.
2. Bedrock specific message. I'm not sure how difficult this is technically (I've never seen OGN do this, although don't think bedrock is priority), but it could be nice if "Click to join" was completely hidden to Bedrock players, since it doesn't apply to them.
3. A /join command. I personally don't like this idea as much. You would use /join to join the last announced server. The issue is that often multiple players use /announce in quick succession, meaning there's a high chance of joining the wrong server. The only way I could see this working is a global /announce cooldown, which I think players might dislike.
