Contribution Guidelines
- Optimization and Efficiency
Code should use most available optimizations, if possible, like macro caching and UUID selectors to gain more performance. TPS matters when mods and other datapacks are being used.
- Modular
Code of Glacier Players allow extensions to add onto existing systems like assigning a glacier a custom waypoint picture when connecting.
- Player Accuracy
Glaciers aim to mimic players so try to add in any features or behaviours that makes them more accurate, with the limitations of datapacks in a vanilla client.
Experimental Mob AI
EXPMAI or formerly EXPAI. originally created Glacier Players which was split into its own project. EXPAI changes behaviour of certain mobs.
