Looking for Minecraft Modders/Coders to implement new Blocks for existing Models

Hey everyone,

I am looking for Coders/Modders for Minecolonies.

What is Minecolonies?
MineColonies is a town building mod that allows you to create your own thriving Colony within Minecraft! With features including many NPC workers, like Builders, Miners, Lumbejacks, Farmers and many more, buildings, a fantastic building tool and a robust permissions system in multiplayer, you can have the Colony of your dreams alone or with Friends.

What's missing?

Our Block and Item Modeler sent us several new blocks like for example several new variations of the shingle block I introduced here:

https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@raycoms/minecolonies-and-new-shingles-block-model-updates

A new slab which has been made to complement the shingle block:

And a new custom plank type which comes with variations of doors, trapdoors and so on for it.

We would need someone who creates the blockStates recipe etc for those blocks and implements the correct handling for them.

How can I help?

We created several issues which need to be resolved for this:

1. Create Cactus Plank Block
   Create Cactus Plank BlockState
   Add Variants for Stairs, Slabs, Door, Trapdoor (Textures and models are already available)
   Create recipe
   https://github.com/Minecolonies/minecolonies/issues/1871

2. Create Block and blockStates for the shingles slab
   Implement that the Shingles slab detects neighbor slabs and change their blockState.
   Create recipe for Shingles and for shingle slab (Pattern available already.
   https://github.com/Minecolonies/minecolonies/issues/1872

3. Implement all shingle variations with the models and textures we have.
   What needs to be done:
   Create block and blockStates as well as recipe for those blocks.

How to start?
First of all check out our codebase at:
There is a full guide how to check it out.
As a Git client we prefer using Gitkraken and as java developping tool Intellij.
Using those 2 tools in your development environment will make it way easier for you to progress and help us troubleshoot any errors you might be getting.

The current working branch is 1.12 so make sure you check it out and get a hold of our code.

After that please contact us here on Steemit or on our discord:

So we can give you access to our github repository and give you support to possible questions which might come up as well as to give you the models and textures you will need for each of the tasks.
