# Contributing to MineClone 2
|
|
So you want to MineClone 2?
|
|
Wow, thank you! :-)
|
|
|
|
But first, some things to note:
|
|
|
|
MineClone 2's development target is to make a free software clone of Minecraft,
|
|
***version 1.11*** (later: 1.12), ***PC edition***.
|
|
|
|
MineClone 2 is maintained by one person. Namely, Wuzzy. You can find me,
|
|
Wuzzy, in the Minetest forums (forums.minetest.net), in IRC in the #minetest
|
|
channel on irc.freenode.net. And finally, you can send e-mails to
|
|
<Wuzzy2@mail.ru>.
|
|
|
|
There is **no** guarantee I will accept anything from anybody.
|
|
|
|
By sending me patches or asking me to include your changes in this subgame,
|
|
you agree that they fall under the terms of the LGPLv2.1, which basically
|
|
means they will become part of a free software.
|
|
|
|
## The suggested workflow
|
|
I don't **dictate** your workflow, but in order to work with me in an efficient
|
|
way, you can follow my suggestions.
|
|
|
|
For small and medium changes:
|
|
|
|
* Fork the repository
|
|
* Do your change in a new branch
|
|
* Upload the repository somewhere where it can be accessed from the Internet
|
|
* Ask me to pull in your changes (and briefly say what you're changed)
|
|
|
|
For small changes, sending me a patch is also good.
|
|
|
|
For big changes: Same as above, but consider notifying me first to avoid
|
|
duplicate work and possible tears of rejection. ;-)
|
|
|
|
## Quality remarks
|
|
Again: There is ***no*** guarantee I will accept anything from anything.
|
|
But I will gladly take in code from others when I feel it saves me work
|
|
in the long run.
|
|
|
|
### Inclusion criteria
|
|
Depending on what you add, the chances for inclusion vary:
|
|
|
|
### High chance for inclusion
|
|
* Gameplay features in Minecraft which are missing in MineClone 2
|
|
|
|
### Medium chance for inclusion (discuss first)
|
|
* Features which don't a impact on gameplay
|
|
* GUI improvement
|
|
* Features from pocket or console edition
|
|
|
|
### Low chance for inclusion (discuss/optimize first)
|
|
* Overhaul of architecture / mod structure
|
|
* Mass-itemstring changes all over the place
|
|
* Added files have a unusual high file size
|
|
* Indentation looks like crazy
|
|
* Single commits which add several unrelated things
|
|
|
|
### Instant rejection
|
|
* Gameplay features which don't exist in Minecraft
|
|
* Proprietary **anything**
|
|
* Code contains `minetest.env` anywhere
|
|
|
|
## Coding style guide
|
|
* Indentations should reflect the code flow
|
|
* Use tabs, not spaces for indentation
|
|
* Never use `minetest.env`
