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[1] by players LunaWasFlaggedAgain and VideoGameSmash12. The first exploit patched in Scissors was the 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.[2]

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.[3]

Creation

On March 12, 2022, Scissors was created due to the TotalFreedom development team's growing dissatisfaction with Paper.[1] It was shortly thereafter used to patch an exploit[4] that was being used to repeatedly crash the server.
