BukkitDev for Sponge!?

[Rezz]

Open source is a must if Sponge is really going to be community based.

[Miguel_Rodriguez]

This site’s source code should be open source haha

[ClearPixels]

This sounds like a great idea! I would love to be apart of the SpongeDev Team (I like that name btw ), Not sure where I could play a part but I am willing to try! I feel like the already established and growing sponge community will be able to take SpongeDev where BukkitDev wished it could have been, and what it could have been.

[callous4567]

So I have a few questions for you guys about all of this:

• What should it be called? (I was thinking about SpongeDev or something)
  SpongeDev - It keeps some of the classic Bukkit spirits
• Do you think it is essential for it to be open source?
  Nope, however other developers could contribute to it and I feel like everything being open-source like Sponge is a better image for the project compared to Bukkit
• What features should it have? Would should it have that BukkitDev doesn’t have?
  A section where requests to port plugins can be used, there is a forum thread, but a better and more streamlined alternative should be available. A person could put down a plugin name, what version its on (Minecraft wise), and then approved devs could claim it.
• And most importantly, should this be even considered?
  YUS!

Plugin Hosting

Right now we are trying to decide how we should manage a plugin repository system. Before we decide anything, we’d love to gather input from the community to see what they’d like! I look forward to reading all the constructive feedback you guys provide. Feel free to give suggestions to my proposals or make your own. Proposal 1: Bukkitdev like system We could handle things very similarly to how we did on BukkitDev. This includes: Proactively review every file before they are available for do…

Sponge website and plugin repository discussion

As you know, Sponge currently has the website and the forums. I believe I can say that there is a general consensus around the Sponge community that it needs a well-organized plugin repository similar to DevBukkit(DBO), but completely free and maintained by the community. The core team is currently busy organizing the main project, but I believe there are enough members to begin organized work on the Sponge repo. That being said, the Sponge website needs several core features: Homepage: The …

Also SOAK idea exists:

This has been under discussion here. Plugin Hosting - #102 by TheYeti

Some people have full implementation ideas already. If you claim to be a web dev, post some examples…

[hunterboerner]

Here’s something I’ve been working on https://github.com/heisenbugdev/heisenbugdev

When sponge is more mature and in need of something like this, contact me and I can see if we can finish that up.

Two month ago, before the big Bukkit GAU, I started working on a plugin repository, based on BukGet.
My campaign was a flop, but I tried it BootsCraft - Manage your Minecraft Server! | Indiegogo

So, I work every day with PHP and have much knowledge about PHP5 and building web applications. Primarily I work at backend, design is not my strong point. Additional I work with TYPO3 for business and know how to build web services on top of TYPO3. But I didn’t think that TYPO3 were the right way here.

So, if you need some PHP, mail me → [email protected] or write me a message here

I think HeisenBugDev is shaping up to look really good, and perform well. Plus it’s a community driven, open source project. Why reinvent the wheel?

Otherwise, Sponge plugins are basically Forge mods… You could always have big-corporation, for profit, Curse host it on CurseForge…

I’ll be starting the development today! For now, the name SpongeDev has received a lot of good feedback, and we will keep it for now.
As said previously, I will make it open-source, and based off Laravel 5, one of the fastest growing PHP framework. The front-end will mostly likely be based off Bootstrap, but I am open to suggestions (as said above, I am not a front-end designed).
It will be using Sass or Less (open for suggestions) for styling, Gulp for tasks, and Markdown for most formatting, as users that will be using it to post plugins will be developers, and most likely know how Markdown works. It will be hosting on Github under CraftThatBlock/SpongeDev.

[Adondriel]

Omg I would love if there was a “sorry, this plugin is now inactive, here is another plugin that does similar functionality”

Seriously, why are you starting a brand new project when there are numerous other projects that are already more mature?

[MrMysteri0us]

Rather wait for Sponge to announce the way they will allow developers to publish plugins.

[OffLuffy]

I’m rather optimistic that things can be improved if started over. Also lets him use the MIT license I suppose, like the rest of Sponge. It’s not like we’re in a hurry as it’ll likely take a bit longer for the Sponge API to be usable anyways.

[Jake0oo0]

For those that asked me elsewhere, I rebooted the site I was working on, and you can find it here.
You can ignore the terrible design…but it’s basically fully integrated with forums (Started this before sponge had forums, or anything really), downloads, revisions, and a full on plugin implementation, with downloads, wiki pages (Not finished IIRC), various stat tracking and other cool things that I was working on. If anyone is interested in hosting something like this shoot me a PM.

[Goblom]

@CraftThatBlock It should be called Liquid

[FlaminSpaz]

Well, I am a very experienced back-end developer and have experience with bootstrap too. I could help bring this up, and hopefully be part of the team.

Other than that, I liked SpongeDev. I just love the way it’s said. We really need this if Sponge is gonna come out sooner or later. We should have something ready to welcome the very first and new Sponge plugins!

[Rocologo]

I like SpongeDev because we all know what BukkitDev is. All developers and server owners will immediately know what SpongeDev vs. Sponge is.

[aileron565]

Here is an idea that I had that may involve a “BukkitDev” kind of system.

Plugin Downloading

I had the Idea that a plugin developer could put, as part of the config or sponge automatically detects it, whether or not the plugin includes custom client side resources (new blocks/items, entity texture and models, guis) and then download them to the client when a client connects to the server. I imagine it being similar to server resource packs. The server would tell the client what plugins need to be loaded(similar setup to checking for how many players are online), downloads the correct ve…
