Contributing to Illuna server

Adding patches

Almost everything around Illuna is opensource, and you are very welcome to provide merge requests and issue reports on our GitLab.
If you don't feel up to the challenge of using Git, don't worry, for any of those things, our forum should work okey too. Actually most feature-requests and issue-reports have been done by the users in our forum, so if you want to take care of something, this would be a category to look at (login-only).
Note that some mods are not released to the public just yet. If you can't find one to fork on our Git, it should be enough to login. Reasons for this include:

• minor mod changes (e.g. chatcolor, branding, or even just a recipe change from the early Illuna days) and irregular updates, but people have been seen adding copies to their server, which sometimes brands their server as "Illuna" or causes them to drive with incompatible changes to their subgame, or to have old code for no reason. Google for some reason likes our Git.
• licenses of the original mod sources, for example in case of illuna_ethereal

Building on the server

As a starter

By having you around, is already a contribution to the server. A good way to contribute, is to build something aesthetic on the server. Don't build noobsheds, dirt/stone/wood bunkers, you can always start off with a cute house! There is plenty of tutorials on YouTube if you are new to building.

Here are some easy to build medieval style houses made by jakab:

• 

  Fisher Village

• 

  Elvas Village

As an experienced player

If you have showed your talents/skills in building, and have played around for a while, the team will consider giving you a creative account, which will grant you to further possibilities, and faster work. And thus, contributing with amazing buildings is easier and faster. With a creative account, you will be accessed to the large protected creative zone around the edge of the map! You will also have the chance to help building official events, or help building in the Illuna kingdom.

Why tho

📸 📸 📸 You can win cool stuff only available to players with creative permissions, also you help Illuna to promote itself on its Social Media channels, so people see we exist (and what a great builder you are)! 🚀

Where to apply?

We have two and a half channels for players to make their hard work seen:

• Categories in our Communityforum: the "Screenshots" category (preferred for this topic), which is meant to present what you think is the very best view of your building, and the "Show your Buildings" category, which is more for an in-depth overview - you may refer to the second one after posting your highlight to Screenshots.
• The #builds-screenshots channel on our Discord server. It is connected to our forum.

Screenshot that meets our visual requirements, though 'name-of-setting' should have been enabled

Requirements

Please make sure to insert the coordinates or directions to your building for the team to be able to make a fitting screenshot to promote on Social Media. This is because we have to make sure, that we follow our design-language. If you are lucky, we will go with your version directly.

Of course you can try to comply with our visual requirements yourself:

• We recommend to use a fancy Skybox instead of the default one
• For some skyboxes, it looks better when clouds are disabled in your client
• Disable your HUD (F1, F2)
• ... (to be completed)
