1 # Contributing to MineClone 2
2 So you want to MineClone 2?
5 But first, some things to note:
7 MineClone 2's development target is to make a free software clone of Minecraft,
8 ***version 1.11***, ***PC edition***.
10 MineClone 2 is maintained by one person. Namely, Wuzzy. You can find me,
11 Wuzzy, in the Minetest forums (forums.minetest.net), in IRC in the #minetest
12 channel on irc.freenode.net. And finally, you can send e-mails to
15 There is **no** guarantee I will accept anything from anybody.
17 By sending me patches or asking me to include your changes in this game,
18 you agree that they fall under the terms of the LGPLv2.1, which basically
19 means they will become part of a free software.
21 ## The suggested workflow
22 I don't **dictate** your workflow, but in order to work with me in an efficient
23 way, you can follow my suggestions.
25 For small and medium changes:
28 * Do your change in a new branch
29 * Upload the repository somewhere where it can be accessed from the Internet and
32 For small changes, sending me a patch is also good.
34 For big changes: Same as above, but consider notifying me first to avoid
35 duplicate work and possible tears of rejection. ;-)
37 For people that I trust, I might give them direct commit access to this
38 repository. In this case, you obviously don't need to fork, but you still
39 need to show your contributions align with the project goals. I still
40 reserve the right to revert everything that I don't like.
41 For bigger changes, I strongly recommend to use feature branches and
42 discuss with me first.
44 Contributors will be credited in `README.md`.
47 Again: There is ***no*** guarantee I will accept anything from anybody.
48 But I will gladly take in code from others when I feel it saves me work
51 ### Inclusion criteria
52 Depending on what you add, the chances for inclusion vary:
54 ### High chance for inclusion
55 * Gameplay features in Minecraft which are missing in MineClone 2
57 ### Medium chance for inclusion (discuss first)
58 * Features which don't a impact on gameplay
60 * Features from pocket or console edition
62 ### Low chance for inclusion (discuss/optimize first)
63 * Overhaul of architecture / mod structure
64 * Mass-itemstring changes all over the place
65 * Added files have a unusual high file size
66 * Indentation looks like crazy
67 * Single commits which add several unrelated things
68 * Gameplay features which don't exist in Minecraft
71 * Proprietary **anything**
72 * Code contains `minetest.env` anywhere
75 * Indentations should reflect the code flow
76 * Use tabs, not spaces for indentation (tab size = 8)
77 * Never use `minetest.env`
