Hey, Thanks for adopting this project! I was looking to contribute but the code wasn't publish, it would be great if do.

Thanks for reply! I've mentioned in releases pages that in view of the fact that the radar products of many previous authors were misappropriated, I decided not to open source this mod. So if u would like to contribute, feel free to open issue tickets, or send me ur ideas/codes of new functions via issues or emails. I'll mark those functions as ur contribution when releasing.

Just so you know, making the code non public doesnt make it that much harder for people to get your code, it just makes it harder to contribute. Using a tool like JD-gui anyone can see your code. By making it private you're just making it harder for members of the community to contribute

Actually even my work is based on many decompiled code via JD-GUI. I've applied some obf operations inside the code to make crackers harder to understand, and I can apply more if I want. Surely, it increases the difficulty of contributing, but it also increases the cost of cracking.

As for the contribution, I don't think there will be so many people would like to contribute to this mod. This kind of mod is more like a cheating mod, so its property determines that it might not be able to get a wide range of contributions like other open source mods. Under the circumstances, one of the previous author of 1.12.2 radar have told me that people who contact him/her just wanna get the latest mod or for function support, but no one contribute to that repo or provide him/her with financial support since he/she published it 2 years ago.

Additionally, do u know that the 1.12.2 version pixel radar was cracked by many people and one of the good cracked open source code was misused and sold with author info erased for making money? That previous author of the 1.12.2 open source radar have told me solemnly that I shouldn't make the code open source again if I don't want either the mod to be sold or the author info to be erased. So I obeyed.

If u really, really, really want me to open source this mod, then reply again, I'll do so. But once this mod is sold/misued/incorrectly edited, then I can do nothing but put all the blame on you and stop developing this mod with pity. Think twice, pls. After all, not all players/developers who interact with such kind of mod are nice guys.
