Or did you just got pranked by Fool&#8217;s Diamond?_<br \/>\n## About the plugin<\/p>\n<p>Fool&#8217;s Diamond is a prank plugin made specifically for April Fools Day. It bewilders players by occasionally disguise diamond ore and glow lichen as each other whenever players aren&#8217;t looking. The change is purely visual and requires _no resource pack_ to work. You can sneakily add the plugin to your server without the players suspecting a single thing then sit back and enjoy watching them getting bamboozled by a disguised glow lichen!<\/p>\n<p>> **Important notes:**<br \/>\n> &#8211; It is not recommended to pre-gen chunks while having this plugin enabled. Either do it beforehand or use `\/foolsdiamond override false` to temporarily disable the plugin during the pre-gen.<\/p>\n<details>\n<summary>Brief Demostration<\/summary>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/zNio3vsfAKM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/details>\n<p>The plugin offers expansive configuration options on when and where it will do the trolling, as well as a few options for performance optimization.<\/p>\n<details>\n<summary>Configuration<\/summary>\n<p>&#8220;`yaml<br \/>\n# Don&#8217;t touch this, please.<br \/>\nversion: 1<\/p>\n<p># Enables Bstats metrics.<br \/>\nenable-metrics: true<\/p>\n<p># Options on when the plugin should start doing its antics.<br \/>\nenable:<br \/>\n  # Enable trolling all day, every day.<br \/>\n  always: false<br \/>\n  # A single day the plugin will begin trolling players on.<br \/>\n  # Server restart required.<br \/>\n  on-date: Apr 1<\/p>\n<p># Options related to the behavior of a morphing block.<br \/>\nmorphing-block:<br \/>\n  # Enable or disable a block type&#8217;s ability to disguise as another.<br \/>\n  # Server restart required.<br \/>\n  enable:<br \/>\n    glow-lichen: true<br \/>\n    diamond-ore: true # This applies to both stone and deepslate ore variants.<\/p>\n<p>  # Whether the plugin should use light blocks to hide light change that occurs when diamond ore changes to glow<br \/>\n  # lichen and vice versa.
