## How you can help as a programmer
(Almost) all the MineClone2 development is done using pull requests.
If you feel like a problem needs to fixed or you want to make a new
feature, you could start writing the code right away and notifying us
when you're done, but it never hurts to discuss things first. If there
is no issue on the topic, open one. If there is an issue, tell us that
you'd like to take care of it, to avoid duplicate work. We appreciate
any contributing effort to Mineclone2. If you are a relatively new
programmer, you can reach us on Discord, Matrix or IRC for questions
about git, Lua, Minetest API, Mineclone2 codebase or anything related
to MineClone2. We can help you avoid writing code that would be deemed
inadequeate, or help you become familiar with Mineclone2 better, or even
help using development tools. By asking us to include your changes in
this game, you agree that they fall under the terms of the GPLv3, which
basically means they will become part of a free software. Sometimes,
your code may cause crashes or bugs - we try to avoid such scenarios by
testing everytime before merging it, but if your merged work causes
problems, we ask you fix the issues as soon as possible.
### The recommended workflow

### Changing Gameplay
Pull Requests that change gameplay have to be properly researched and
need to state their sources. These PRs also need Fleckenstein's approval
before they are merged.
You can use these sources:
* Minecraft code (Name the source file and line, however DONT post any
proprietary code). You can use
[MCP](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Programs_and_editors/Mod_Coder_Pack)

* Testing things inside of Minecraft (Attach screenshots / video footage
of the results)
* [Official Minecraft Wiki](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Minecraft_Wiki)
