📋 About This Mod
Why wait until gameplay to start the fun? The React‑o‑Pun Screen greets players _before_ the title menu with a randomized pun and a flurry of animated reactions. Of course it's not just a useless and cringy screen! It’s a grandiose stage for wordplay, whimsy and _maximum enjoyment for everybody!_
Randomized Puns: Each visit serves up a fresh pun, ensuring no two intros feel _entirely_ the same. _May contain traces of nuts._ Reactions: From _neat_ to _absolute cringe_, the possible set of reactions lets you “respond” to the pun with an impactful click. Embrace the puns and the cringe! Dynamic Animations: Buttons wobble, spin, and scatter with parabolic motion, while shockwaves ripple outward when pressed, making every reaction feel alive. Cinematic Flair: Fading backgrounds, easing curves, and shake effects give the screen polish worthy of a comedy show intro. * Unskippable Charm: ESC won’t save you, as you’ll have to face the pun head‑on. It’s _pun‑ishment with style_. Trying to excape the machine this way will just result in more _magnificent_ puns, haha!
The React‑o‑Pun Screen sets the tone for the entire mod: playful, maximally polished, and impossible to ignore. It’s the perfect warm‑up act before diving into the pun‑filled chaos of the game.
# Command and Configuration Guide
## Overview The Puns mod displays interactive question/answer screens at specific moments (before the title screen or during world loading) and allows players to react with neutral, positive or negative votes. All reactions can be recorded and used to compute statistics (positive points, negative points, total votes, and approval rating).
Since custom entries can now be created freely, the content is no longer limited to puns. Any question/answer pair can be used, turning the mod into a lightweight in-game polling, questionnaire tool or whatever you decide. Server administrators can distribute questions and review aggregated player feedback via the remote statistics backend or local files.
## Commands All commands are registered under `/puns`. Regular players can use the basic `send` sub-command; all other features require permission level 2 (default for operators).
