Vector2 coordinate values about spongeapi HOT 8 CLOSED

That would make it clearer. On the other hand they are supposed to be generic vectors.

Personally I would pick clarity.

I say math conventions are more important.

Vectors are a mathematical construct much more general than this single use case. The "most likely" (your words) is accurate and important - you don't know what the primary use case is (going to be), and one sample of use cases is hardly enough to constitute a rule.

The solution to the problem (if it is a problem) is to introduce a specialized vector, not to redefine the general construct.

I also think we should met math conventions but maybe we can use a kind of vector handler so in general Sponge code the minecraft conventions are met. It is really hard to read.

A CoordinateVector class or something would make it easier to read, but I agree, X & Y is a bit better, if confusing for the average server owner.

Less of an issue if helper functions wrap the integers to provide directions, so plugin writers would use "3 blocks North" instead of working with the coords directly.

As for server owners, I can't think of a case where an administrator would need to deal with the coordinate system outside of 3D space. (They wouldn't need to use Vector2, so why break convention)

We will stick with math conventions
