Learning how to code

[InternetThing]

Although I have taken a few courses myself, I have tutored java part-time at the local community college. I have given several students this playlist to review to help them understand simple concepts and move forward.


However, these videos or a course will not give you enough instruction to understand java entirely. As you start understanding how java works in these basic tutorials, you will need to be able to adapt and optimize your code through the experience of creating your programs without spoon-fed code.

Thank you
I have already started out with java and developed my first plugin which was essentials gamemodes: gamemode , creative , survival , spectator

Would you like to give me anything to code for me to practice? Something simple not too complicated, I will try and make it and if you want I will send you to test it

Make a simple kits based plugin, it should teach you quite a bit about storage and plugins in general.

Plenty of other replies answering the question, but here is my hot take.

Your can learn the basics of the Minecraft plugins from watching youtube tutorials, looking at open source plugins, and looking through the spigot API. This is how I started in plugin development. You'll also want to just learn Java itself, outside the context of minecraft plugins. The quality of your work will increase significantly if you actually have a firm understanding of OOP principles.

a few things that helped me, Never ever read books /take free online courses now I know for a fact some self proclaimed expert java dev is gonna jump me for it but its true, all they do is spoon feed you code to use on top of that chances are their not even for a relevant java version some books I've seen in local libraries are java 5 - 7 and not even 8+ as for courses they simply just don't give you what you need to learn. Java Documents are the best place to hit for learning java due to it showing you what each method does and gives a description. Another good thing is have friends that know how to code to help you, for me it'd be NV6 Cole FigT they've helped me since the very beginning and its been amazing, anyways best of luck.

I honestly learned nothing by reading books explaining java and other various codes. They showed you how to do something without actual explanation most the time which gets you nowhere.

Stuff like gamemode is not hard. I suggest you try to learn events suchnas fall dmg, enitiy dmg etc also try making fly command

As my first plugin that I developed under 2 hours starting learning I believe its very good progress, Thank you for your suggestion I will be trying to code the fly command ASAP.

Fly command is not just p.setFly(true), ofc you can activate it but how will you toggle it off? I suggest you learn java so you can code outside spigot api or just watch lots of tutorials (most youtubers traches you what each line says (often))
