Welcome to the Developer Section of the Caesar Community!
This is where plugin developers, tool smiths, and curious tinkerers unite to share their ideas, solutions, and questions around development.
Whether you’re crafting a new plugin, integrating Caesar into your ecosystem, or exploring Godot UI extensions – this section is for all things development.
To keep this place insightful, structured, and helpful, please follow these guidelines:
📚 Topics You Can Post Here
- Plugin development for Caesar
- Technical integration with CloudNet or Minecraft
- Working with the Caesar API (Java / REST / WebSocket)
- Custom panels and tools using the Godot UI
- Developer questions about performance, deployment, and packaging
- Feedback on API design or feature proposals
- Developer tutorials, templates, or shared utilities
💡 This is not the place to showcase finished work (use the Showcase section)
or to ask for plugin support (use Questions instead).
🧪 Best Practices for Posting
1. Use Clear Titles
Good: "Godot: Creating a Custom Settings Panel Plugin"
Bad: "Help pls"
2. Share Code Properly
Use [code] blocks or link to GitHub/Gists. Avoid pasting long code inline.
3. Be Descriptive
Tell others what you're working on, what the challenge is, and what you’ve tried.
4. Version Context
Always specify which versions of Caesar, Java, and Godot you're working with.
5. Respect Intellectual Property
Don’t share code or assets you don’t have rights to publish.
🧑💻 Post Template for Development Topics
Here’s a basic template you can follow:
**Title**: Creating a Server Diagnostics Plugin using the Caesar API
**Goal**:
I’m working on a plugin that reads server CPU & RAM usage and shows them in a custom diagnostics tab.
**Progress**:
- Backend: Java + Caesar Plugin API
- Frontend: Custom Godot Panel, communicating via WebSocket
**Issue**:
I'm struggling to update the panel live without causing lag. I'm currently sending a JSON payload every second.
**Question**:
Is there a more efficient way to stream live data to a Godot panel?
**Versions**:
- Ceasar 2.1.0
- Java 17
- Godot 4.2.1
🧠 Collaborate & Share
This section is also a great place to:
- Ask for feedback on your API usage
- Discuss design patterns or best practices
- Share libraries or utilities that others can reuse
- Talk about upcoming features you’d like to see added to Caesar
🛑 Please Avoid
- Posting general plugin announcements (use the Showcase section)
- Off-topic discussions not related to development
- Complaints or support issues – keep this focused on creation and coding
🧩 Plugin-Specific Questions?
If you're asking something about your own plugin's logic or behavior, be sure to include relevant code, architecture, and how it hooks into the Caesar system.
