Reyncraft Development

Reyncraft is a replacement Minecraft server designed to give admins more flexibility and control over how the server operates.

Development Planning

Phase 1, Planning:

List all features and types of features the server is going to have. Then group and extract the core components. These are what we are going to implement in the first release. Next, develop some engine designs using something like UML. This will give the project some structure and from there, we can give it some direction. Once this is done, coding can happen!
