# Spigot <-> Telegram bridge plugin
### This plugin will send chat messages from Minecraft to Telegram, and from Telegram to Minecraft.
## How to use:
1. Download .jar file from [releases page](https://github.com/kraftwerk28/spigot-tg-bridge/releases), and put it in `plugins/` directory on your server **OR** clone this repo and run `gradle shadowJar` inside repo's directory.
2. If you already have telegram bot, skip this step. Otherwise create it through [BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather). You'll go through step-by-step instructions, give a bot __username__ and most importanrly, obtain a bot __token__. Save this token.
3. Next, we need to tell plugin about your new bot. You can either:
- Run Spigot server, plugin will log `"No config file found! Saving default one."`. After that, stop server and proceed to 4th step.
- Copy [config.yml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kraftwerk28/spigot-tg-bridge/master/src/main/resources/config.yml) to `plugins/SpigotTGBridge/` in your server directory.
4. A `config.yml` is just a [valid YAML](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML) file, alternative for JSON, but more human-readable.
Now, take bot's __username__ and __token__ which you got in 2nd step and paste them into `config.yml`, so it looks like this:
```yaml
botToken: abcdefghijklmnopq123123123
botUsername: my_awesome_spigot_bot
# other configuration values...
```
5. Run spigot server.
6. Add you bot to chats, where you plan to use it. In each of them, run `/chat_id` command. The bot should respond and give special value - __chat id__. Now, open `config.yml` and paste this ID under `chats` section, so it will look like this:
```yaml
botToken: abcdefghijklmnopq123123123
botUsername: my_awesome_spigot_bot
chats:
# Note about doubling minus sign. This is not a mistake, first one means list element, the second one - actual minus
- -123456789
- 987654321
# other chat id's...
```
7. You can extend `config.yml` with more tweaks, which are described in the table below, but it's not nesessary, plugin will use default values instead, if they're missing.
8. Re-run server or type `tgbridge_reload` into server's console.
P. S. You can always update plugin configuration without restarting the server. Just edit `config.yml` in the `plugins/` directory, save it, then type `tgbridge_reload` into server's console. Beware, that plugin reload takes some time (usually up to 30 secs), and I work on it right now.
