Also, for anyone reading this curious how this works and what it can do.. Check out the commands.js file in the repo (https://github.com/braydo25/TwitchControlsMinecraft/blob/mas...)

This has a list of the different command types presented for voting. Each command type has a set of options that are randomly selected each time a voting round starts.

Whatever gets the most votes at the end of a voting round, that command gets injected into the server via Spigot and runs in the minecraft world causing whatever was voted to happen.

The meme on Twitch started with Twitch Plays Pokemon[0], which went viral back in 2014.

I can’t believe that was 6 years ago already. Time flies.

Something that should have caught on, but for some reason didn't:

Is there a live stream of this? I found a link in the README but it seems broken

Ah! Let me fix that

The stream links are all broken. I'd love to see what this looks like.

Also, do you have a Twitter? I want to follow your development as I'm working on something similar (non-Minecraft).

I did something like this in 2016 for chips challenge and after one day of a few people poking with it it wholely flopped. But I think that game is probably a perfect format as well

Have you considered making this a twitch extension? That would allow users to click stuff on screen instead of (or in addition to) typing.
