Usage

1. Install the server plugin, make sure you have a free port to host the webserver (restart your server after you change the port)
   • Make sure to modify the url, that is what is sent to the players to view. It should point to the port assigned below it
2. Setup a minecraft account to autojoin the server and install the companion mod
   • The companion mod doesn't handle auto joining/rejoining, you will need a separate mod
3. make sure camera account has camera.camera permission node
   • You may have to run /camera reload core to get it to recognize the camera, it only checks on join and when reloading
   • Without the permission, the server won't recognize it as a camera that is able to be used
     • (implemented to prevent anybody downloading the companion mod and saving images that aren't theirs)
4. run /camera create (name) **if this doesn't work, make sure you have the camera.admin permission
5. run /camera setup (name) camera to set where the camera will be
   • See more commands below, you can tweak the sense range, delay for camera to take image and the overlay image
6. move to where players will stand to activate the camera and do /camera setup (name) sense
7. whenever players walk near that location it will take a photo polls every 5 seconds
