Welcome to our GitHub organization. Here you can find a lot of different tools and projects written for the Astraleth Minecraft Server.

Our core server software is built using Minestom. For our database, we use a combination of PostgreSQL for structured and MongoDB for unstructured data. Each game server runs independently of each other and is built to be redeployed at any point, meaning all player data is stored in the database. Our core system is organized by using a module system. For deployment, we use Docker with a custom cloud system that allows a deployment of Docker containers depending on the player count.

At Astraleth, we follow the stable <- dev strategy. In practice, that means that the stable branch should be deployable at any given time. All code is first pushed into the dev or a feature/<feature> branch, the latter being then pushed into the dev branch. When the code inside the dev branch is ready for a new release, the dev branch is merged into the stable branch by using a pull request. This secures stability and provides a better overview of changes.

When committing, a commit should always have a good commit description. Ideally, a message is written in a way that allows someone to add When applied this commit will in front of it. This allows a consistent commit history. An example of a bad commit is:

+ DatabaseModule 

A better version would be:

Add the DatabaseModule

We value readability and consistency at Astraleth. For that reason, we declared a few things that are mandatory for all commits to the codebase:

• All packages should follow the format net.astraleth.<project>.<package>, for example net.astraleth.astramod.annotations.
• The main class of each project should be named in a way that resembles the project name and be placed in the root package. For example, a project named AstraCloud would have its main class named AstraCloud and placed in the package net.astraleth.astracloud.AstraCloud. Classes that have a public static void method should be called Launcher and only initialize the main class.
• Static abuse is strictly forbidden; dependency injection should be used in every possible scenario.
• Variables should have a clear and understandable name, nothing like int i; float f; etc.

Since we are a group of MMO enthusiasts that don't really plan on making any money with the server, all positions inside Astraleth are voluntary positions. Because of obvious reasons, we require each new member of the team to sign an NDA and a copyright assignment. Because of that, we are only hiring above the age of 18. If you want to join our team and are willing to sign the documents required, you can reach out to us using different ways:

• By using our website (currently down)
• By writing an email to apply@astraleth.net
• Or by joining our Discord server
