+ErrorNoWatcher is a Minecraft bot (written in Rust with [azalea](https://github.com/mat-1/azalea)) that alerts you when players are near your base. It also has other features such as interacting with blocks/entities, a basic pathfinder that can follow players and go to coordinates, a scripting system to run commands automatically, and much more.
+
+## Compiling
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/ErrorNoInternet/ErrorNoWatcher
+cd ErrorNoWatcher
+cargo build --release
+```
+The compiled executable will be at `./target/release/errornowatcher`
+
+## Usage
+Running the bot for the first time will create the `bot_configuration.toml` file, where you can change several options:
+```toml
+username = "<bot's username>"
+server_address = "<server address>"
+register_keyword = "Register using"
+register_command = "register MyPassword MyPassword"
+login_keyword = "Login using"
+login_command = "login MyPassword"
+bot_owners = ["ErrorNoInternet", "<allowed to run commands>"]
+whitelist = [
+	"ErrorNoInternet",
+	"<won't be triggered by the alert system>"
+]
+alert_players = ["ErrorNoInternet", "<players to send a message to>"]
+alert_location = [0, 0]
+alert_radius = 192
+alert_command = [
+	"curl",
+	"-s",
+	"-HTitle: Intruder Alert",
+	"-HPriority: urgent",
+	"-HTags: warning",
+	"-d{player_name} is near your base! Their coordinates are {x} {y} {z}.",
