Minecraft Graphing⌗

Although it was a short project, this one was one of my latest favorites because it was a lot of fun to play around with. This plugin allows you to create 3D graphs in-game using particles. The idea came after my Calculus III class one day, since I realized I could make almost any shape if I just chained them together. At present, the plugin only supports one graph at a time, but it’d be pretty trivial to add in more. The version I made available on Github is for Spigot 1.16.5, and it’s pretty simple.

At the moment, it is only set up to be used as a standalone plugin, but it could be possible to make it into a library. The graph function is set in the config.json, and has a default value of x^2 + y^2.

Here's a saddle function (x^2 - y^2 - z = 0) made from the 'suspended' particles.

The same function with redstone particles instead.
