Foreword

The majority of the work in this fork comes from the original repo, credits to cniw for building a functional plugin. However I saw that the plugin wasnt actively being maintained and was missing a few features that would make it even better so I decided to maintain this fork. If you have any suggestions or feature requests please open an issue or contact me on Discord : knuckles_was_taken
