# [Plugin: Minecraft Validator] Coming soon!

 * The next release of Minecraft Validator will be its last major release. 🙁
 * But! That’s only because its functionality has outgrown the Minecraft Validator
   name. 🙂 I haven’t settled on a new name yet (any suggestions are welcome), but
   the new plugin will be modular and, as of now, support username validation and
   have Votifier integration through a shortcode (meaning you can parse and display
   a Votifier log). More features are in the works, but I needed that one so it 
   got priority. Any other thoughts for possible features? Maybe the ability to 
   do popup shortcode for items/potions/etc (like [diamond pickaxe] showing a popup
   that give the construction/stats/etc for a diamond pickaxe)? Something that hooks
   into MCBans? I dunno… you tell me!

 * I used to use Minotar WP plugin for minecraft avatars in WP but it doesn’t work
   with BuddyPress. I have attempted to get a hold of the developer to no avail.
   If you could manage to add this functionality and make it BuddyPress compatible,
   you’d be my absolute hero!

 * [@nicofnot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicofnot/), I’ve added BuddyPress
   support for Minotar.
 * [@ghost1227](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ghost1227/), I tried your Validator
   plugin and I must say, it’s really good! Looking forward to see your other projects.
   If you need any help just shout!

 * [@edvind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edvind/) Will do… I was planning
   on adding avatar support but I’d feel kinda bad stealing your thunder with that
   one…
 * [@nicofnot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicofnot/) Regardless of whether
   or not i include avatar support, the next plugin will support BuddyPress and (
   probably) bbPress at least to some extent. (Disclaimer… BuddyPress/bbPress support
   may not be in the initial release)
 * [@everyone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/everyone/) Current support that
   is either done or well under way for the new plugin is as follows:
    - Minecraft Validator (validates new users against minecraft.net)
    - Minequery Integration (adds a widget that displays server connection status,
      number and names of online players, latency, etc)
    - Votifier Integration (adds a pretty interface to display and possibly work
      with votifier log files)
    - Minetips (allows usage of shortcodes to display tooltips for Minecraft blocks
      and such i.e.: [mt:dirt] would display ‘dirt block’ with a tooltip displaying
      the info for the dirt block [block id, description, image, etc].)
 * Additional features I’m researching or considering:
    - Webauction Integration (allows the Webauction interface to be ’embedded’ into
      your WP site)
    - Dynmap Integration (allows Dynmap to be ’embedded’ into your WP site)
 * What else would everyone like to see?

 * Interesting plugin.
 * Bit of searching turned up this URL you might consider using:
 * [https://login.minecraft.net/?user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&version=12](https://login.minecraft.net/?user=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&version=12)
 * That will validate a minecraft username and password. Could be handy for integrating
   logins.

 * Very interesting link indeed! I knew you could verify usernames, but had no idea
   there was a URL for validating user/password combinations! Thanks!

 * I think there may be a problem with using it though, in that if you have minecraft
   running when you call that URL, it will invalidate that users existing session
   ID, meaning that their current running copy of minecraft won’t be able to connect
   to servers that are configured to verify paid accounts.
 * So it’s probably not something you want to call too often. Maybe only on registration
   of a new user, for example.

 * [@ghost1227](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ghost1227/) Do you still maintain
   this? If not, is there a “new plugin” that has replaced it? This is pretty amazing,
   and I would like to contribute if possible. I’m a PHP developer with a bit of
   wordpress experience. I also run a minecraft server called “PiCraft”, and I use
   this plugin for verifying registrations.
