Creating a Public/Community API

[DrHam]

My suggestion is pretty simple: Create a community API. What's an API? Why we need it?
WHAT'S AN API?
API stands for Application Coding Interface (Not American Petroleum Institute). I'm lazy to define "API" by my own words, so'll just quote it from Wikipedia:

An API is a set of commands, functions, protocols, and objects that programmers can use to create software or interact with an external system. It provides developers with standard commands for performing common operations so they do not have to write the code from scratch.

WHY?
Simply, the number of "community codes" (i.e. Website, standalone programms, Forge Mods) will greatly grow. Websites like *cubecraftplayersts.xyz* for checking player level, if it's banned, etc will appear.
What should it contain?
"whereIs" (returns the where the player is, like what you see when executing /f list), getting player level, etc.

To get the ban status you can use the appeals page. The whereis information probably shouldn't be available to everyone. Game stats should be public, they should make a website where you can see the top players for any stat and also see the stats for any player. When they make that site they might as well give us some kind of api specification.

Not the command /whereis nor the friend system , but something like “Playing Skywars” (not giving details where they are [if lobby or ingame] nor the map they are playing)
Related to bans, they should provide some kind of documentation to access the ban/appeal info imo

Basic stuff, like "isBanned" (Returns true if player is banned, false if it's not), "whereIs" (returns the where the player is, like what you see when executing /f list), getting player level, etc.

See if your friend is banned on f list and see top player stats from my understanding.

 

[Slimeyz]

Nah

Far from being that. It is code, allowing developer make their own applications (or websites,or mods) using code from CubeCraft. Those methods return (output) something. I cam with the thing from the friend list, but it can be a lot of things, such as current points, current rank, first login, total time played, etc

Nah

Explain

That does not make sense

 

[A pigeon]

Yeah i got that much since i program some basic C++ stuff . Was explaining relavabt stuff to shamel

 

[Zoutoplossing]

I agree, bacause i like coding alot and would like it if i could code CubeCraft mods too. Then i have finaly have a new coding challenge:p

We don't need a party system, an anti-cheat, friends, or the suggestions part of the forums.

that will be good and I will make cc-stats.c*m (sorry for swearing) Cubecraft public API is great, people will make custom clients, modifications, info sites and more!

How is that swearing?

Doubt people will make custom clients, since it is pretty hard (more like 5zig plugins)

Now I am not a coding genius, but I know enough to understand what you are saying

Now for the banned part I think of the appeals page

For anything else in there I can't make a comment as I can't download it so if there are any other things inside can someone tell me what they are

 

[DrHam]

Now for the banned part I think of the appeals page

You can check if someone is banned using some sneaky trick (*MagnificientSpam*),but it’s harder than having an api that returns true/false ;)
About everything else, the API could contain things such as player colorname, rank, level, hour played, stats. The number of total and latest sentinel bans. And so on
