# Contributing to MineClone 2
So you want to MineClone 2?
Wow, thank you! :-)
But first, some things to note:
MineClone 2's development target is to make a free software clone of Minecraft,
***version 1.11*** (later: 1.12), ***PC edition***.
MineClone 2 is maintained by one person. Namely, Wuzzy. You can find me,
Wuzzy, in the Minetest forums (forums.minetest.net), in IRC in the #minetest
channel on irc.freenode.net. And finally, you can send e-mails to
<Wuzzy2@mail.ru>.
There is **no** guarantee I will accept anything from anybody.
By sending me patches or asking me to include your changes in this game,
2017-02-12 22:02:50 +01:00
you agree that they fall under the terms of the LGPLv2.1, which basically
means they will become part of a free software.
## The suggested workflow
I don't **dictate** your workflow, but in order to work with me in an efficient
way, you can follow my suggestions.
For small and medium changes:
* Fork the repository
* Do your change in a new branch
* Upload the repository somewhere where it can be accessed from the Internet
* Ask me to pull in your changes (and briefly say what you're changed)
For small changes, sending me a patch is also good.
For big changes: Same as above, but consider notifying me first to avoid
duplicate work and possible tears of rejection. ;-)
## Quality remarks
Again: There is ***no*** guarantee I will accept anything from anything.
But I will gladly take in code from others when I feel it saves me work
in the long run.
### Inclusion criteria
Depending on what you add, the chances for inclusion vary:
### High chance for inclusion
* Gameplay features in Minecraft which are missing in MineClone 2
### Medium chance for inclusion (discuss first)
* Features which don't a impact on gameplay
* GUI improvement
* Features from pocket or console edition
### Low chance for inclusion (discuss/optimize first)
* Overhaul of architecture / mod structure
* Mass-itemstring changes all over the place
* Added files have a unusual high file size
* Indentation looks like crazy
* Single commits which add several unrelated things
### Instant rejection
* Gameplay features which don't exist in Minecraft
* Proprietary **anything**
* Code contains `minetest.env` anywhere
## Coding style guide
* Indentations should reflect the code flow
* Use tabs, not spaces for indentation
* Never use `minetest.env`
