Quick Menu Main Page Features Development Status GitHub IRC

Implemented

These features are currently implemented in Realcraft.

• Cross-platform support
• MySQL database support (partial completion, see planned features)
  • Player ranks
  • Server and world-specific options
  • Player position saving/loading
• Chat and command support
• Player ping list (in-game tab window) support (includes user colors and actual pings)
• Entity actions such as sprinting and crouching

Planned

These features have yet to be implemented into Realcraft, but are planned for the future.

• Use libnoise for world generation
• Player authentication using Minecraft.net
• Better entity management
• Sending player spawn messages to other players
  • Prerequisite: Fix entity management
• MySQL database support (partial completion, see implemented features)
  • Player whitelist and blacklist support (MySQL tables are in-place for such features)
  • Server logging
    • Access logs for chests
    • Entry logs for areas, some moderation so they cannot spam the logs by leaving/entering the area repeatedly in a small period
    • Chat and command history
    • Attempted access for blocked chests (i.e. chest owner X banned Y player, Y player tries to access chest)
  • Chest/door/area protection (MySQL tables are in-place for such features)
  • Server jail support using an area specified by the admin; possibly instead of kicking user on cheat/spam, just jail them? Could be a setting
• Anti-cheat system
  • Kick player if cheating suspected, note in logs
  • No player teleporting (flying, moving fast, etc.) unless generated by server
    • If creative mode is enabled, client-side flying is allowed since the vanilla client has this, but moving must still be checked upon if they're in flight
  • No arbitrarily placing blocks/items without checking item in hand first (server-side inventory management)
    • Creative mode does not enable this; creative mode uses its own packet rather than the one used for placing blocks
  • Player must be looking at object in order to interact with or break the object
  • Player must be looking at the direction they're facing for placement of blocks/objects
• Anti-spam in chat
  • Kick player if spam detected, note in logs
  • Be tolerant of network latency issues causing Minecraft to re-send chat messages
    • Need to see why this actually occurs. If TCP frames are being repeated, this is already fixed by Realbasic's TCPSocket class
• Detection of players entering/leaving areas
  • Need to create a caching system that is both fast (will be queued every time someone moves) and is also self-managed by MySQL tables
  • Stop movement of players entering areas they're banned from
• More in-game commands
• Native WorldEdit functionality (won't be as advanced as the Bukkit plugin, but should provide common features such as replace, set, cuboid, walls, outline, expand, etc.)
