Line 1: {{Conflict of interest \|explanation=The majority of this article was written by the contributors/developers of the described software. \|date=August 2023 }} {{PluginTemplate\|status=Active\|github=https://github.com/AtlasMediaGroup/Scissors\|license=GPLv3 by default and MIT under author's choice}} Scissors is a fork of Paper which iswas initially designed to patch exploits used on the TotalFreedom server. The project was started on March 12, 2022<ref name="rebrand">https://github.com/AtlasMediaGroup/Scissors/commit/49f7f4f21d8d9cdd24d743ba50c4a9df7707d5f4</ref> by players LunaWasFlaggedAgain and [[Community:VideoGameSm12\|VideoGameSmash12]]. The first exploit ~~Scissors~~ patched in Scissors was the [[Exploits#Infinity Cart\|Infinity Cart]]~~. Initially, this~~ exploit was patched by [[Community:Telesphoreo\|Telesphoreo]] in a private fork of Paper. Lead Developer [[Community:Paldiu\|Paldiu]] initially got mad at Telesphoreo due to a misunderstanding about what was patched. The JAR for the private Paper fork was pulled and shortly after, the Scissors project was born. The project initially supported version 1.17.1 for TotalFreedom. Telesphoreo ported all of the patches to 1.18.2 and other versions after 1.17.1. On July 22, 2023, Scissors was added to bStats.<ref>https://bstats.org/plugin/server-implementation/Scissors/19184</ref>. == History == Before Scissors was created, the TotalFreedom Minecraft server used Paper as its server software. Unfortunately, Paper was vulnerable to a wide variety of [[exploits]] unique to TotalFreedom and servers with a similar model, which were not fixed due to the Paper developers refusing to do so.<ref>https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/issues/7011#issuecomment-986136708</ref> === Creation === On March 12, 2022, Scissors was created due to the TotalFreedom development team's growing dissatisfaction with Paper.<ref name="rebrand"/> It was shortly thereafter used to patch an [[Exploits#Infinity_Cart\|exploit]]<ref name="MolesL">https://github.com/AtlasMediaGroup/Scissors/commit/347ea8905cd8ffdf49363c0e03d24e21cfe579b1</ref> that was being used to repeatedly crash the server. == References == <references />
