Overview
Members set their own birthday with /birthday set. On the day, in the server's configured timezone, Java Lava posts an announcement in a channel you choose and can grant a temporary "It's my birthday" role that's removed automatically afterward.
Birthdays are checked hourly, so announcements land close to midnight in the server's local timezone rather than a fixed UTC time.
