CraftBook

CraftBook adds mechanisms (bridges, gates), redstone additions (integrated circuits, programmable logic chips), and minecart enhancements to Minecraft SMP (multiplayer). It does this without requiring on client-side modifications by using heuristics based on block and sign placement instead. It is currently a plugin for hMod (which is now being ported to Bukkit), although CraftBook will be ported over to the Minecraft API once it becomes available and sufficient.

About the Project

We have an IRC channel on Espernet: #craftbook on irc.esper.net. You'll find fellow CraftBook users and developers there.

• https://github.com/sk89q/craftbook - source code and the place to report issues
• http://www.redmine.sk89q.com/projects/craftbook - main project issue tracker, where we plan and plot milestones (it's superior to GitHub's issue tracker)
• http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/CraftBook - wiki-based documentation

Contributing

We happily accept contributions. The best way to do this is to fork CraftBook on GitHub, add your changes, and then submit a pull request. We'll look at it, make comments, and merge it into CraftBook if everything works out. You can fix bugs, add features, write new ICs -- it's up to you. Check the redmine.sk89q.com site for our "to do" list.

Make sure to keep these points in mind when submitting code:

• Ensure that the feature doesn't consume too much CPU. Some features, like ICs, could possibly run every two ticks.
• Keep memory usage to a minimum.
• Consider network bandwidth usage. For example, updating signs requires a large packet to be sent.

Don't worry though; we'll make suggestions if we find any issue with those points.
