Player motion no longer relies on negative radius creepers, and thus is now compatible with all server softwares, including Spigot & Paper.
In vanilla, a creeper with a negative ExplosionRadius value will deal knockback, but not damage. This is useful for mapmaking as it gives you the ability to manipulate player motion without unwanted side effects. (See Delta for an example of this.)
Unfortunately, Spigot and Paper makes it so negative radius creepers do nothing at all. As such, I have created this fork so that mapmakers can enjoy the performance benefits of Paper without having to give up useful vanilla functionality.
Important: This is not a plugin, it is a replacement for the paper.jar file. So it is unfortunately not usable if your server host doesn't let you change the .jar directly.
I will try my best to keep this fully in-sync with regular PaperMC. DM me on Discord if you have any issues.
This pack is no longer being maintained. Existing versions are still available through the tags page if you need them for any reason.
Compiling this fork of Paper works identically to compiling Paper normally. All you need is JDK 17 and an internet connection.
Clone this repo, run ./gradlew applyPatches, then ./gradlew createReobfBundlerJar from your terminal. You can find the compiled jar in the project root's build/libs directory.
To get a full list of tasks, run ./gradlew tasks.
