I was wondering if anyone would be able to try and make two, hopefully simple plugins for me.
1. Minecraft Username Checker
I would like to have a custom profile field for a forum member to enter their Minecraft username when they sign up to the forum. Once the user enters their username, it should be checked to see if it is a legitimate username, i.e. if they have bought the game. This can be done by placing their username into this URL: http://www.minecraft.net/haspaid.jsp?user=username which seems to return either "true" or "false". If it is false, the person should be asked for their correct username. The correct username must then be displayed on their profile as a custom profile field would.
2. Minecraft Avatar Get
This plugin should get a person's avatar which is based on their Minecraft username, but ONLY if they haven't got a custom avatar. It should also allow people to still upload custom avatars if they want. To get the avatar, there is an extremely nice website, minotar.net(has API), or by using something like this: http://minotar.net/avatar/username/200.png
The plugin should be able to adjust the number at the end of the URL, which specifies the size of the avatar image. The username can be taken from a custom profile field, such as the one the 1st plugin makes.
Both plugin's need to be case-sensitive, as usernames can have capitals in them as well. You can test both URLs by substituting Notch instead of username.
I hope that neither of these requests are too hard for you plugin developers, some of the stuff you make is amazing. I will sign your praise from the top of the mountains if you can do this for me!
EDIT: There is a Wordpress plugin similar to what I want in the 1st plugin. Hopefully it helps: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mine...validator/
