Community Update & Plans

The Community

I want to improve the experience here and on Patreon. I've been working constantly on the new mountain biome update and I kind of left community work on the back burner for a few weeks. 

To fix this I will add weekly posts on Patreon detailing the work done during the previous week with pictures and even polls gathering community feedback.

Additionally, I will start working on fully experimental projects where decisions will be made by patrons through polls and discussion. These will become downloadable jars on Patreon once completed.

If you have additional ideas or requests regarding this, please feel free to post here or message me about it. 

Coming Up

Currently, most of my efforts go into the development of the mountain biome, the rest into the project at large and future biomes. Aside from designing the biome itself, there are other things that need to be done before the launch of the mountain biome, and after it as well. Below I will list a few of the points that stand out:

1.  Separate the framework and the world classes from the Spigot plugin to avoid inheriting the GLP license from Spigot. Once this is done the plugin on Spigot will look for the world generation jars in a folder instead of containing all the code itself.

2.  Marketing material for the mountain biome. I will need the usual pictures to advertise it on Spigot, but also some YouTube videos that I will record with the hopes of getting some exposure that way as well.

3.  Make the website useful with sections for the framework & development, the worlds, tutorials, FAQs, etc.

4.  Full review of the framework’s documentation and work extensively to make it perfect for public use. This includes creating a website with documentation, tutorials, distribution, etc. The framework will only be available for patrons at first.

5. Add support for older versions of Minecraft from 1.8 onward.
