>Twitch Controls Minecraft is a Minecraft mod that lets your chat vote to make things happen in your Off-topic, but who was very first to this "let's allow chat to do stuff" thing? porn industry?

  The meme on Twitch started with Twitch Plays Pokemon[0], which went viral back in 2014. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Plays_Pok%C3%A9mon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Plays_Pok%C3%A9mon

Is there a live stream of this? I found a link in the README but it seems broken
- braydo25 6y ago
  Ah! Let me fix that

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/master/config/commands.js 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.

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

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).

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