How come you've decided to write your own server? #2

I see that you've implemented SpongeAPI for your LanternServer.

What lead you to make this decision?

Because Glowstone is too messy and SpongeAPI needs to be 100% open source?

ZephireNZ commented 8 years ago

Glowstone was completely open source, however it's deeply rooted in Bukkit's APIs. They created compatibility with SpongeAPI, however it's only a compat layer for Bukkit (similar to Pore for SpongeAPI).

LanterServer takes the roots of Glowstone, but implements the SpongeAPI as well as giving some parts of the implementation a much needed overhaul.
