sponge port

[bluej100]

Do you plan to port this to https://github.com/SpongePowered/SpongeAPI when available ?

[enebo]

Possibly, but I am examining MinecraftForge right now.

[bluej100]

Cool. Thanks. (Sponge will be based on Forge, so I believe Forge mods will all work on Sponge servers.)

The Prag Prog book ported their content to CanaryMod. I played around in Canary this weekend and it had a very similar feel to Bukkit. Might not be another bad option to consider.

[enebo]

@nelsonwittwer yeah thanks for pointing this out. I guess even Sponge has worked around the Bukkit death-spiral problem. I made minimal work on being able to load JRuby using forge because forge has the oh so tantalizing client side modding but I found the API to be much less obvious than Bukkit. Simple things like sending a message is different between single and multiplayer. So I will try something closer to Bukkit in nature.

Canary is kind of gross, and sponge isn't ready for end users. and bukkit still lives on tentatively as spigot.

SpongeAPI should be a good fit once it gets closer to a release, but if you are any good at API design you may want to make a proposal.

@ryantheleach thanks for the input and I did actually mean spigot. I got the two mixed up in my head :) Sponge design I have not been following, but perhaps I should...

I got this mostly working on Spigot, I had to go and remove the async blocks from the examples. I can get the turtle-chicken to draw a pyramid but it doesn't move at all while it's drawing and then suddenly the pyramid pops into existence. Surprise TNT pyramid!

I love the idea of hacking on Minecraft with Ruby, it would be a great way to get kids into code without having to climb Java mountain. If you ever pick this up again I volunteer to help out.

@1337807 yeah weirdly I did about a month ago but did not figure out where their maven repo was. I also have this single fix for module dependency resolution (examples locs_plus + teleport have a dep):

@1337807 any changes to source and I will merge. I am really hoping to get mvn pom.xml fixes :)

[enebo]

No plans on sponge support any time soon since this is not running on spigot. So I will close this.
