 To request a feature, create [a new issue](https://github.com/toolbox4minecraft/amidst/issues/new). Describe the feature as good as you can. You can also create images to illustrate the description. We will then have a look at the request and decide whether the feature will be implemented. Please note that we decide if and when a feature is implemented.

-There are some commonly requested features which are [currently out of scope](https://github.com/toolbox4minecraft/amidst/labels/currently%20out%20of%20scope). Most of these involve reading the region files of a save game or using more stages of the Minecraft world generator.

-* The second option is to implement new features. You can request a feature and request to implement it on your own within one issue.

There are also some feature requests marked as [currently out of scope](https://github.com/toolbox4minecraft/amidst/labels/currently%20out%20of%20scope), because they require quite a bit of work, so if you want to invest lots of time and effort, these are probably the right starting point.

-When you start making changes, please do it in a separate branch and create a pull request from it. Travis CI will tell you, whether your changes pass the build process. In general, we use the [Github Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/) for all contributions. Also, we use the Eclipse code formatter to have some kind of common code format.
