Scissors is a fork of Paper which was 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 patched in Scissors was the [[Exploits#Infinity Cart|Infinity Cart]] exploit. 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.
