Contributing
While this mod gets the job done, it is in a very early stage and comes with many issues. If you would like to contribute to the mod, you can tackle one of the issues below:
- There is currently no support for servers with TLS enabled. It might be an issue with how I set up my test server.
- More config options. Reconnect attempts, better profile settings, private messaging, mention pings, custom chat/command prefix, etc.
- Handling more IRC events. Most events are not handled, so there might be hidden desyncs.
