💿Introduction

A mod designed for streamers by streamers!

TwitchSpawn is a Minecraft Mod powered by MinecraftForge API. It listens for live events related to your Twitch channel using various streaming platforms' Socket API. Then it handles those events with the rules handcrafted by you!

Features & Vision

1. All the events!

Thanks to the power of SocketIO, the mod is now able to respond to a wide variety of events! Donations, follows, subscriptions, resubs, bits and many more events including for Youtube and Mixer as well! List of supported streaming platforms:

2. Your own, readable rules!

The mod now comes with its own language to understand you: TwitchSpawn Language (TSL)! With TSL, declaring event handling rules (rule sets) is piece of cake! It is easily understandable. (E.g following sequence is a valid TSL script: DROP minecraft:diamond ON Twitch Follow)

3. One server, multiple streamers!

The mod is capable of parsing more than one ruleset, which makes it possible for multiple streamers to use TwitchSpawn on the same server!

4. Way better customizability

You can customize the text that is shown on an action, with an easy JSON format and well known Minecraft Text Component syntax!

5. More reliable than before!

Unlike the Legacy (before v0.3.0) versions, errors will not cause Minecraft to crash with no report. Instead it is aimed to show errors to the user as much as possible. If you're facing any sort of problem, do not hasitate giving our Discord Server a visit!

Why a Whole New Paradigm?

The oldest (before v0.3.0) versions started with the idea of spawning items on donations. However, as time passed spawning items was not enough and necessarity of adding more handlers was making it even more complex to both implement and configure. Especially with only one big fat JSON file was leading the config file to an indentation hell.

Even though a new implementation is present, legacy version is still reachable on CurseForge, GitHub and GitBook.

The new version of TwitchSpawn heavily focuses on Usability, Flexibility and Customizability! It now supports multiple streamers in one server and handles every event served by a wide variety of streaming platform Socket APIs. Instead of ugly and complex JSON files, easier file formats are used now. Namely:

  • TOML for credentials to be used to communicate with a Socket API

  • JSON for display message customization. It uses a well known format, Minecraft's Text Components!

  • TSL for declaring the event handling rules. It is a data language, stands for TwitchSpawn Language

🍞 Special thanks to ToastNomNomNom for reaching me and giving an amazing feedback. Without his assistance and motivation, the new version would never be possible. 🍞
