    Here's my requests:
    A way to change sky/ cloud / fog color.

    A Bukkit server written in C++ or some other language that doesn't use up as much resources as Java. It has been done for vanilla SMP, but not for Bukkit (as far as I know).

    Unfortunately, sky/cloud/fog color is a client side thing and can't be done with a Bukkit plugin.

    I've been considering looking into doing a C++ or lighter-weight Bukkit implementation eventually, but I have plenty of other projects going right now... :p

    have though about this also

    if you pick it up, i would help, though i think implementing the Bukkit API on mineserver might be a good idea so we don't need to re-write the entire server

    Though could it be done with a client and a server side mod?

    Key words are "client and". There's no easy way for a server to detect a modded client, though, and I know nothing about client modding.

    @mindless728 I believe Fador is working on this, perhaps it's worth looking into.

    well if i wasn't working so much on my RealFluids plugin i would (it keeps track of the volume of water and has it flow more naturally)

    That's something I'd like to get in on. Am studying C++ right now, could be a fun learning experience.

    Well I am a bit masochistic, I'm even going to try to get into game programming. Just toss me a pm I'd love to help / try to do anything I can, personally I like C++ it's a bit complicated but it's really diverse.

    funny story, i actually hate game design/programming, on the help front i am going to contact Fador and see if he needs some help getting bukkit into C++ so i would contact him if you want to help

    If anyone's going to take up the project of implementing the Bukkit API on Mineserver, let me know.

    Heh C++ thanks for not thinking that Windows is the only OS out there.
    (Yes you can write it for both platforms, but it always means that one of them is done first and the other followas after some time.)

    Mineserver already is designed to be multiplatform. It should be trivial to make the Bukkit support as well, and I develop and test on both Ubuntu and Windows machines anyways.
