I lost my fiancée to cancer a few years ago, and this just reminded me that I suggested she create a GitHub account years ago. I didn't know she had used it, but this post prompted me to check, and it turns out she created some (good) issues on a few Minecraft/CraftBukkit projects. It's great to see companies dedicating resources to putting these policies in place. It can make a huge difference while someone is going through the most difficult time in their life.

Sad to hear about your fiancee. Good that this helps in keeping her alive in your memories.

Speaking of bukkit, bukkit based minecraft servers are still cool. There's a new one called Paper that's been working out well for my small group.

  +1 for Paper, also works well with GeyserMC [0] so your Bedrock friends can join. BTW, the GeyserMC community is really great, top notch support via Discord with a fancy integrated bot and automated builds that you can just drop into you plugins folder. I use this Docker image with Docker-compose: [1] [0] https://geysermc.org/ https://geysermc.org/ [1] https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

    One thing to note is that paper breaks technical redstone builds. For redstone parity, Fabric [0] is what we use, along with Phosphor + Lithium + Carpet. [0]: https://fabricmc.net/ https://fabricmc.net/

  I set up a Paper server for my kids. The modding ability is pretty cool, and easy to get into. I made a mod for them which rings a bell and announces the server time on the hour. They're less likely to lose track of time now. WorldGuard is cool because you can define regions and only allow certain players or groups of players permission to use that space. I can also prevent mobs from spawning in "town". Neat stuff. I know that I said that I set it up for my kids, but I really did it for me as well!
