Being done with university classes and in a transition period between academic pursuits and my career as an entrepreneur, I wanted to create a fun side project and the concept of a blueprint builder for Minecraft came to mind (after working to build a complex structure in Minecraft myself). The goal is to create an app that makes planning a Minecraft structure easy—dare I say fun—and helpful by letting users know the amount of materials required and to provide instructions for creating the structure in-game.

I created a few mock ups showcasing how the app will function and posed a question gauging interest (links below) to the /r/Minecraft community a few nights ago before heading to bed at 3:00AM. I woke up and was expecting to find a handful of comments; maybe two or three. There were sixty. SIXTY comments before 8:30AM! Over the course of the day, it grew to 170+ comments, all positive saying they want this app—my favorite being, "Shut up and take my money!!! Really looking forward to this! Will save me so much pain," which turned out to be a common sentiment.

So here I am on HN looking for a technical partner to help create a beautiful app that helps solve a major problem Minecraft players have. You need to play Minecraft yourself or be willing to get your hands dirty in-game and able to devote the time to release the app very quickly (with minimal features). This is meant to be a for-profit project, but more importantly it's for fun and as a means to showcase our talents!

Please check out the Reddit post first and send me an email (in my HN profile) if you want to contribute! I'll answer any questions you have in this thread as well.
