Setup

1. Install the plugin into your Minecraft server.

2. Open your channel's Twitch Dashboard and create your custom Channel Points Rewards. (optional)

[!TIP] If needed, you can copy-paste the names of the Channel Points Rewards into a text document for later use.

1. Set your config.yml up. Adjust the settings and setup events for rewards, donations... You will need to link a Twitch account in order to connect use the Twitch API (the linked account needs to own/moderate all Twitch channels set in config.yml) There are two ways to link your Twitch account to the plugin:

   • Using a key-based authentication (recommended):
     You will need a Client ID and Access token. You can get one mannually or through a website as Twitch Token Generator. Make sure to add all the needed scopes.
     Uncomment CUSTOM_CLIENT_ID and CUSTOM_ACCESS_TOKEN on the config file and add your Client ID and Token onto the corresponding fields.
     Once the server has started you just need to run /twitch link and your account will be automatically logged in. You may need to refresh the token when it expires.

   • Log in through a browser:
     You won't need any extra modification in your config.yml file. You will just need to run /twitch link in-game and open the provided link. You may need to log in your Twitch account and authorise the app. Once you finish the log in process you can close the browser and your account will be linked.

[!WARNING]
Currently due to API limitations it's only possible to use the browser method if the login link is opened with the same machine the server is being ran on. You also have to repeat this process each time you start the server or reload the plugin.

1. Set up permissions for:

   • linking/reloading (chatpointsttv.manage).
   • the target player(s) (chatpointsttv.target).
   • people you want the reward messages broadcasted to (chatpointsttv.broadcast).

   · See Permissions for more information.

[!NOTE] The config file for the plugin should be in 'plugins/ChatPointsTTV/config.yml'.

  You can leave this section unmodified, as there are default colors set up in the original file
• Strings: Allows you to customize all title texts displayed to people with the chatpointsttv.broadcast permission. You may want to translate these strings to your language for a better experience. Don't add spaces before or after the double quotes as the plugin already does this for you. English strings are set up in the file by default.

Commands

This plugin is controlled by the /twitch command followed by one of the following arguments:

• /twitch link [method]
  Links your Account. If a key-based credential is set it will use it. Otherwise will show the button for logging in through a browser (only works if the user logs in with the same machine as the server).
  You can specify the method to use through the optional [method] parameter.
  Valid options: key, browser

• /twitch unlink
  Unlinks your account and disables the plugin. You may need to log in again if you used the browser method.

Reward Actions

Currently, there are 2 types of actions:

• Spawning entities
  Format: SPAWN <ENTITY NAME> [AMOUNT]
  Example: SPAWN CREEPER 2
  This action will spawn the menctioned entities for each player that is set up as a target (with the chatpointsttv.target permission). The example action will spawn 2 Creepers on each player's location.

• Running commands
  Format: RUN <TARGET / CONSOLE> <COMMAND>
  Example: RUN TARGET DAMAGE @S 2
  This action will run the command as the console a single time, or as each player once. Command arguments are allowed. The example action will substract each player a heart from their health.

• Giving Items
  Format: GIVE <ITEM> [AMOUNT] Example: GIVE DIAMOND 1 This action will give the stablished amount of the set items to all players with the chatpointsttv.target permission. The example action will give all players (with the "target" permission) a diamond.

• Explosions FORMAT: TNT <AMOUNT> [FUSE TIME IN TICKS] Example: TNT 1 0 This action will spawn a TNT to all players with the chatpointsttv.target permission that will explode after the specified fuse time. The example action will spawn a TNT that will explode instantly to all players.

[!TIP] Argument names surrounded by <> means that it is a required argument. Arguments surrounded by [] are optional.

You should set up your events in your config file following this format:

TYPE_REWARDS:
    - KEY:
        - Action 1
        - Action 2
        - ...

or

TYPE_REWARDS:
    - KEY:
        - STREAMER:
            - Action 1
            - Action 2
            - ...

        - default:
            - Action

Whereas TYPE_REWARDS is replaces with the appropiate config key that is already on the file, KEY with the channel points reward name, subscription tier or minimal amount of bits/subs.

[!IMPORTANT]
For follow events you shouldn't add reward keys. See placeholders on the default config.yml.

[!TIP] You can now target multiple channels. If you do so, you can target some events to a specific channel following the second format. You can still follow the first example if you don't aim to target specific channels.
