TwitterBoard
Display the latest tweet from any user on Twitter, such as your server’s official updates, in your minecraft world. The latest tweet will occupy at most 3 signs, thanks to twitter’s 140 characters limitation.
Immediately after setting the sign, nothing will happen. But when a redstone signal hit the sign, at most three signs will appear below and display the recent tweet. Redstone isn't just the way to generate the twitter board for the first time, it is also the mechanism that updates it. So if you want to refresh the board, just apply redstone again!
The easiest way to input a redstone signal to the sign is to add a button right next to the sign.
Installation
To install the plugin, follow the instructions on the Installation Page.Basic Usage
Once the plugin is properly installed, you can start building twitter boards! To experiment with a simple twitter board, build a wall that is 4 blocks high. Then, place a sign on the highest block and enter the following two lines:
[Twitter]
user-name
For example, if you like players to see the recent tweet posted by Katy Perry, you need to enter:
[Twitter]
katyperry
It is important to specify the username (katyperry) and not the display name (Katy Perry). Just like in the address of her twitter page: https://twitter.com/katyperry.

Using colors
You may specify the color of each Twitter Board as the 3rd line on the sign, like so:
[Twitter]
katyperry
&1
Note that color codes will take up space on the signs that show the tweet, even though they are invisible. When using color codes, you might need to add an extra sign for the entire tweet to appear. You may specify a default color code in the configuration file of the plugin. Note that you can change the color code character in the config file. This is useful if you run into conflicts between plugins.
Anyone able to update this plugin to work with new versions? This was a unique and awesome plugin that was never replicated to my knowledge.
Man it'd be awesome to see an 1.8.3 update for this. It's a lot of fun and there's nothing else quite like it!
Great plugin but I don't think this one is working anymore for 1.8. I'm not getting any error messages. It just stopped responding to button presses after the upgrade.
@TheAvonix
Try the new version.
Hello,
I have been having troubles configuring this plugin for my server. I have started it over several times, but everything is done in the order with all of the information being set properly. I get the following error but can't figure out where the problem lies.
[TwitterBoard] Cannot get the timeline of user Framework_MC Details: 403:The request is understood, but it has been refused. An accompanying error message will explain why. This code is used when requests are being denied due to update limits (https://support.twitter.com/articles/15364-about-twitter-limits-update-api-dm-and-following). message - SSL is required code - 92
When I go to Twitter to change information, there really isn't any capabilities for me to adjust for this.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have 3 suggest:
1. get all tweet with an HashTag.
2. make a wall signs where there are more than one tweet.
So the first line signs = on tweet
De second line it's an other tweet
...
3. automatic update signs (without redstone)
Could you make this ?
Thank in advance and sorry for my bad English (I'm French ;) )
@eyalzh
I am set in the Owner group. Do I need op as well?
Edit: Yeah, you do. Thanks!
@DoctorCooper
Are you an op on that server?
I can't get it to post anything. When I type:
[Twitter] notch
On the sign, it disappears and nothing happens when the button is pressed.
@googlebuscus
By direction, you mean vertical vs. horizontal?
Can you add an option to change the direction the signs show up?
@Bl0c
The application keys are not given to anyone in this case, they are used by your server to read tweets. You are more than welcome to de-compile the plugin and see there is no evil code that steals the keys. Also, please note the twitter application access is read-only.
The secret Consumer should never be given ! Virus Warning !!!!
Wow! Amazing plugin thanks so much!
@Gnarrsy
Yes. Just add two different signs.
@eyalzh
1 more question :P is it possible to attach more than one account? because i wanna add my personal twitter and my server twitter....
@Gnarrsy
np. I'm closing the issue.
@eyalzh
Wow. i figured out my problem. Im an idiot and put it after the : instead of in the quotes. DERP :D sorry for wasting your time :P
@eyalzh
Ill add a ticket in a bit. And yeah I have reloaded 5-10 times since. Ive restarted a bunch too. Not for the plugin specifically but just because of other plugins configs
@Gnarrsy
Try pasting into a ticket. Also, did you reload the server after adding the keys?
