TreasureRun v0.1.2-alpha — external alpha testing release

TreasureRun v0.1.2-alpha

TreasureRun is an alpha-stage Minecraft Spigot 1.20.1 treasure-hunt plugin and platform-boundary i18n project.

This release is intended for external first-impression testing. The goal is not a production-readiness review or a deep code review. The most useful feedback is a short note about whether the setup path is clear, whether the local server starts, and what feels confusing for a first-time tester.

What's included

• A version-aligned Spigot plugin JAR
• A contributor-friendly local setup path
• A prepared demo-world testing flow
• A gameplay demo and tester-facing documentation
• An alpha tester feedback Issue Form
• 23 documented language codes
• CI-backed i18n and build verification
• Clear project boundaries for Spigot 1.20.1 alpha testing

Engineering focus

On the surface, TreasureRun is a treasure-hunt mini-game.

Under the hood, it treats Minecraft localization as a platform-boundary problem. A Spigot plugin alone cannot fully control every client-side standard UI string, so the project separates the problem across multiple layers:

• Spigot gameplay and player language preferences
• ProtocolLib packet boundary handling
• ResourcePack language assets
• Optional Fabric client-side language sync
• Pure Java packet-localization logic
• GitHub Actions quality gates

Testing target

Verified target:

• Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1
• Spigot 1.20.1
• Java 17

This is not a Paper compatibility claim.
This is not a production-readiness release.

Feedback requested

Useful feedback can be very short. Even 3-5 bullets are enough.

Please focus on:

• Could you follow the setup guide?
• Could you start the local server?
• Could you join localhost:25575?
• Did the first in-game commands make sense?
• What was clear?
• What was confusing?
• What would make this easier for another first-time tester?

Please report only what you actually tried and observed.
