####Does this belong in Plugin Discussion? Move it for me if it doesn’t.
I know this has been discussed before, but read this topic out.
Considering that Sponge is able to support Forge servers, as it in itself is a Forge mod, I was wondering about making a temporary external API for all our AI-brainwashing needs. The current plan is to wait for further into Sponge’s; although that release is far from now, and considering how long its going to take, a little experimentation with this wouldn’t hurt.
The concept of the project is to try and create a Forge mod that manages all the AI workings of entities and is accessible by Sponge plugins. With the much larger control a Forge mod has over the server, it will be a whole lot easier to accomplish. No attachments should be made with the code written, as eventually it would get replaced. Again, this is all just experimentation; we can try and see what works versus what doesn’t, taking notes and applying it to the eventual creation of the AI manipulation API in Sponge.
The only downfall of this is, it won’t be able to support SpongeVanilla, as it will be a Forge mod. That isn’t that big, though, is it?
You can discuss possible ways to perform this here, but the main type of response I’d like to see is opinions as to whether we should try this or leave it to the original plan of handling it later.
