    Fully functional news reader in Minecraft
    ​
    What it does
    News is a fully functional news reader in Minecraft. It pulls its stories from the BBC, reputable and well known worldwide news source, and formats them either into chat or into a book. With /news book you will be given a book with all the top stories, a link to an article, and a brief summary. With /news read, you will be fed all the headlines.

    How to use
    Commands:
    • /news read [category] - read all the headlines - permission: news.read
    • /news book [category] - get a book with all the stories in more detail - permission: news.book
    • /news refresh - refresh the cache for the default category - permission: news.refresh
    • /news categories - view all the available categories - permission: news.categories

    How it works
    News has a custom built-in RSS reader that pulls from the BBC RSS feed. Since the RSS reader is not tailored to any specific news source, additional sources will be added in the future.

    Why?
    Use it as a donator perk, a way to stay up-to-date while gaming, or anything else. I don't care.

    Amazing! It works great in 1.18.2! The news has a CData which it might always have had before the entries, but it works flawlessly.
