Plugin Request: Slimefun (hear me out please)
« on: November 23, 2018, 04:31:32 AM »
I am posting because I feel like Slimefun would make a fantastic addition to the server for many reasons:

1. It is balanced due to everyone being able to craft the items(unless restricted via permissions, but I'll touch on that later.) but first needing to research them via EXP.
2. It adds 400+ new items into the game, making it pretty hard to get bored on the server.
3. It is easily expandable via addons that are available if you so desire.
4. It is noob friendly. (tutorials available on yt and such.)
5. It has an auto-updater (which can be disabled in the config file if it needs to be)
6.If you think some items give players an unfair advantage, then you can just restrict that item in the permissions, so its also staff (and server) friendly.

I like this server for its vanilla and uncomplicated gameplay, compared to all the other servers out there. I feel like adding something that adds 400+ items would only ruin the vibe of this place.

I agree with terlin, and I also had a few concerns about the plugin.

1. The last released version was on May 5th 2018 for 1.12, so it is most likely broken in 1.13 and wouldn’t work with the server.

2. The original developer has ceased working on it, and a cursory scan of the GitHub shows that almost no one else has contributed since. In other words, we can’t reliably assume that bugs will be fixed well, ever.

3. It was difficult for me to understand what exactly this plugin does at first, but it looks like it adds custom items? A bunch of the custom items that the plugin wiki listed, would duplicate existing donor perks. Obviously we would have to disable those. It got too complicated for me, after looking at the medicines and weapons custom items,  but I will give it another look. I am also concerned about how much these custom items would change the gameplay of the server.

In conclusion, I am worried this plugin would require a lot of effort, time, and technical skill to setup and maintain, for questionable benefit to Sentinelcraft.

Plugin was already suggested twice before. Still the same answer. We pride ourselves in being a vanilla no-grief server, adding this plugin would ruin the experience for alot of our seasoned players who enjoy vanilla much more than a mod-like experience. Thanks for your suggestion :)
