THE TOOLING MANIFESTO

• I PLEDGE TO ALWAYS WRITE MINECRAFT TOOLCHAINS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY
• I WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE QUALITY TOOLING WHENEVER POSSIBLE
• I BELIEVE THAT THE DEVELOPER CAN BE CHALLENGED WITHOUT COMPROMISING ON WHAT IS "USEFUL"
• I AM CREATIVE AND ORGANIZED AND THESE TRAITS ARE APPARENT IN MY CODE

• I BELIEVE THAT GOOD DOCUMENTATION IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF A GOOD PROJECT
• I CAN WRITE TOOLCHAINS THAT ARE FOR DEVELOPERS OF ANY EXPERIENCE LEVEL INCLUDEING THE PROS
• I AM NOT AFRAID TO USE STREAMS OR A LOOP, RECURSION, OR INHERITANCE
• I AM FAMILIAR WITH MODDING STYLES OF OLD AND NEW AND I CAN BRING THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
• I WILL NOT RELEASE A MOD IF I AM NOT HAPPY WITH IT
• I UNDERSTAND THAT GOOD MODS TAKE TIME TO WRITE
• I DO NOT RELEASE MODS WITH THE HOPE OF BEING POPULAR BUT BECAUSE I KNOW WE NEED GOOD MODS
• I WRITE MODS THE WAY I WANT TO WRITE THEM AND NOT WHAT SOMEONE ELSE THINKS
• I AM WILLING TO HELP OTHERS AND BE A GOOD EXAMPLE THROUGH MY TOOLCHAINS
• I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCESSIBILITY WHICH IS WHY I MAKE TOOLCHAINS COMPATIBILE WITH ALL GRADLE AND JAVA VERSIONS

• I NEVER FORGET TO SET THE ARTIFACT GROUPID, NAME, OR VERSION NUMBER
• I KNOW A GOOD TOOLCHAIN WHEN I SEE ONE AND I FORM MY OWN OPINIONS
• I CAN WRITE TOOLCHAINS TO MAKE THE MODDERS BETTER AT DEVELOPING BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEM
