Continuing PhatLoots Officially

[Redned235]

Was brought by the attention of @PikaMug that you recently popped back on GitHub. I also noticed that you starred my repo :).

Basically, I've been using this plugin for a little over a year now after obtaining a server using it. After updating to 1.13, I noticed you no longer updated it and the plugin struggled to work properly on the current version. I decided to update it and publicly submit my changes on GitHub, and have been asked by multiple people to submit a build on Bukkit or Spigot.

Considering you are the author and this is your work, I decided not to. So I guess what I'm asking is if I can officially take over the development for PhatLoots and submit my new version on either Bukkit or Spigot.

Thanks for reading.

This project’s legacy as the de facto standard for chest loots has not been forgotten. The Minecraft server community would greatly benefit from it’s revival and it’s my opinion that Redned is the most qualified fork maintainer to facilitate its return. +1

I definitely endorse this. been using redneds fork for quite a while now.

I totally vouch for Redned hes a great developer :)

I am encouraged that you are interested in continuing this project. I am looking through a few forks and will be choosing someone to take control of the plugin moving forward. This is something that I should've done years ago but I guess I always thought I'd come back to it.

I haven't made a decision yet but the support I see here is promising.

If you do choose me to continue this plugin, I will always accept code contributions and plan on supporting it for years to come. Since this is your codebase, the decision is truly yours and I respect that.

Once again, thank you for replying here and opening the door for this plugin to be continued! I really appreciate it.

I hope @RednedEpic is chosen, hes been very helpful and seems like he cares for the plugin. As well as the plugin is supported by Quests which is another reason why I got it and needs to be continued as it's a great asset to the community :D

Hello im a community member on redneds server and as a long time player and now current staff member on it, can at least i promise he will at the very least keep this plugin up to date and possibly improve upon it

[Redned235]

Just checking back here after a little while. I'm very much motivated to continue this project going forward and definitely have big plans for it. Once a final decision has been made, please let me know.

Thanks.

Is there any 1.14 support available at all? it would be very helpful!

My current fork supports 1.14 as of just a few days ago. Please reach out to me on Discord at Redned#9473 for more information.

I just wanted to comment, letting you guys know Redned was quick to respond and provided personal help
quickly. If this mod was revived Redned would be a great candidate.

I don't know him but I approve him too, that would be amazing if PhatLoots could be brought back to life

Another thought @RednedEpic why don’t you just submit a pull request? You get to support the project and keep it updated and don’t have move people to a new repository.

I'd seen from multiple people that they tried to contact Codisimus, and were unsuccessful. So I really didn't feel like a PR would do much.

However, since he's responded to this issue here, I think it'd be better to just wait for a decision to be made as he said he'd be choosing someone to continue the plugin. So unless he decides he wants to continue the plugin himself, I don't think a PR would be necessary.
