Paper Unsigned is a fork of Paper with the set goal of keeping chat unsigned. more to be added later.
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.
I will try my best to keep this fully in-sync with regular PaperMC. DM me on Discord at Nicoder#6884 if you have any issues.
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.
