    I recently came upon this wild idea to create an irc server within my bukkit server. This will be no easy task that's for sure but this is the stuff that I love to do. Don't bother commenting that this is not possible because it is! If anyone is interested or has comments drop a comment below! Thanks guys

    wreed12345 Might be possible as a mod... Twitch Does this with a mod so maybe take some pointers from them and turn it in to a plugin ;) goodluck

    not really looking to make this into a mod. Sort of defeats the purpose of this.

    not sure what you mean by "create an irc server inside a server", but, its perfectly possible to connect chat to one, for example, the CraftIrc plugin.

    Wouldn't this be an annoying IRC server to be connected to? Every time the server reboots you would be kicked. It would be cool if you could get it to work well, but it's sort of nice to have IRC channels not depend on whether or not the minecraft server is running.

    A server tightly integrated w/ craftbukkit would be leaps and bounds ahead of CraftIRC. there wouldn't need to be a bot proxying the chat for each player, the in-game players would be members of the IRC channel just like the IRC members. User's would be properly authenticated so that their permissions could be used to handle commands. etc.

    I've thought about something like this a lot but its a big job. If it existed I would definitely use it and probably contribute some code as well.

    metalhedd Skyshayde Onionbro if any of you are interested in helping with the coding add me on skype im wreed12345.
    necrodoom I am not trying to connect the two together. I am trying to combine the two. Bukkit plugins aren't only meant to add cool little features. They are also here to revolutionize the game.

    I hope that maybe one day this will exist though!

    Is there a github repo or source code yet? are you working from this: http://me.opengroove.org/2009/10/single-file-irc-server.html as a base or starting from scratch? I don't want to use skype, but if the project is open sourced and available for forking on github I'll likely submit some pull requests.

    metalhedd i only use skype for fast instant messaging call's aren't necessary. I think that will be a good base class. It will need some modifications of course. Eventually I will start a github repo but since I don't have much of anything yet it is not yet created. Add me on skype to IM about this

    My distaste for skype isn't really about voice calls. Im a linux user and the linux client for skype is terrible, I also have no skype-using friends or associates, so I don't really want to run the software. I'll wait until there's a repository with some code and if you keep it updated I'll contribute where I can.

    metalhedd started a repo. Currently the plugin can run an irc server (as a seperate thread of course) which you can connect to using localhost or 127.0.0.1 on windows. Eventually i will add the config for adding ip and the port. https://github.com/wreed12345/Bukkit-IRC

    Just an update: IRC server is now functioning as a plugin. Messages from minecraft are automatically forwarded from MC to the IRC channel #minecraft. Now I have to work on sending messages from #minecraft to the MC
