### Contributing assets
Due to license problems, MineClone2 can unfortunately not use
Minecraft's assets, therefore we are always looking for asset
contributions. To contribute assets, it can be useful to learn git
basics and read the section for Programmers of this document, however
this is not required. It's also a good idea to join the Discord server
(or alternatively IRC or Matrix).
#### Textures
For textures we use the Pixel Perfection texture pack. This is mostly
enough; however in some cases - e.g. for newer minecraft features, it's
useful to have texture artists around. If you want to make such
contributions, join our Discord server. Demands for textures will be
communicated there.
#### Sounds
MineClone2 currently does not have a consistent way to handle sounds.
The sounds in the game come from different sources, like the SnowZone
ressource pack or minetest_game. Unfortunately, MineClone2 does not play
a sound in every situation you would get one in Minecraft. Any help with
sounds is greatly appreciated, however if you add new sounds you should
probably work together with a programmer, to write the code to actually
play these sounds in game.
#### 3D Models
Most of the 3D Models in MineClone2 come from
[22i's repository](https://github.com/22i/minecraft-voxel-blender-models).
Similar to the textures, we need people that can make 3D Models with
Blender on demand. Many of the models have to be patched, some new
animations have to be added etc.
#### Translations
##### Workflow
To add/update support for your language to MineClone2, you should take
the steps documented in the section for Programmers, add/update the
translation files of the mods that you want to update. You can add
support for all mods, just some of them or only one mod; you can update
the translation file entirely or only partly; basically any effort is
valued. If your changes are small, you can also send them to developers
via E-Mail, Discord, IRC or Matrix - they will credit you appropriately.
##### Things to note
You can use the script at `tools/check_translate_files.py` to compare
the translation files for the language you are working on with the
template files, to see what is missing and what is out of date with
the template file. However, template files are often incomplete and/or
out of date, sometimes they don't match the code. You can update the
translation files if that is required, you can also modifiy the code in
your translation PR if it's related to translation. You can also work on
multiple languages at the same time in one PR.
#### Crediting
Asset contributions will be credited in their own respective sections in
CREDITS.md. If you have commited the results yourself, you will also be
credited in the Contributors section.
