📋 About This Mod
# Craftword Craftword is a plugin for PaperMC that allows you to import online crosswords from a number of websites, and turn them into big in-game crosswords for players to work on together. The plugin does require a resource-pack, which is included by default. If you want to put a copy on your client, you can find it at: ``src/main/resources/craftword.zip`` To access the letters, sign a *Book and Quill* with the title ```Alphabet``` <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/O8iCT602LG4" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> ## Commands ``/craftword:build_new <dimension> <at: x y z> <site> ``</br> Creates a new crossword instance at the dimension and location. </br> Site is the website to fetch from, the date will default to today if blank. </br> If the crossword already exists, it will load it from ``plugins/Craftword/crosswords`` </br> Can fail if the new crossword overlaps with an existing crossword, or if it can't access the site. ``/craftword:remove <dimension> <at: x y z>`` </br> Removes any crosswords found at the location specified. </br> Can be run on unloaded chunks </br> If it manages to miss any entities you can run it close to a missed entity, and it will finish the job. ``/craftword:clear_cache`` </br> Deletes all the crossword data you've downloaded from websites that aren't being used. </br> This does not remove in world crossword placements. </br> Not super necessary unless you set up a daily system and accumulate lots of files ``/craftword:hint_limits <min> <max>`` </br> Sets the min and max number of players to trigger a grid check. </br> Number needed for grid check = Clamp(Number of Players Online, min, max) </br> Regardless of input, Min >= 1, Max >= Min </br> ### WARNING Just because a website's crossword can be fetched doesn't mean they allow it. If your server is big or generates profit, you should seek permission from the website before using their crosswords.
