Question On Sponge?

[TheCraftedCode]

I have a few things I need to get clear with sponge.

Questions-

Does sponge allow you to have custom forge mod added to the server?

Is there any books that teach you how to use the Sponge API? If not when?

Is sponge easy to make servers with?

Are the server the same like a bukkit server would be?

Thanks!

@TheCraftedCode

Is there any books that teach you how to use the Sponge API? If not when?

I believe @Codisimus is writing one?

How-to book - "Building Minecraft Server Modifications"

Hello Sponge Community! My name is Cody Sommer but I am also known as Codisimus (Creator of ButtonWarp, CreeperControl, PhatLoots, and several more Bukkit plugins). A couple of years ago, I wrote a book to teach the Minecraft community how to learn Java and develop their own Bukkit plugins. You can find my book at http://goo.gl/z2r6R8. Now that the Sponge API is released, I can begin work on porting my plugins. I am wondering if this community would be interested in my book if I were to create…

@TheCraftedCode

Is sponge easy to make servers with?

About as easy as Bukkit was.

@TheCraftedCode

Are the server the same like a bukkit server would be?

No. It will also not support Bukkit Plugins and be set up differently.

Sponge itself will be a Forge coremod, so you will be able to run it alongside any other Forge mods.
