[Sylver]

Hey everyone! I am going to start learning how to code plugins. Maybe you got any tips or small projects I could start with?

I would recommend you learn java first and make a few console programs first. Also, learning OOP (Object Oriented Programming) can help a lot with creating plugins.

Best of luck and make sure you enjoy what you are doing!

The best advice is just make shit. work through the problems one at a time instead of trying to get a massive overall experience. It'll make you learn the basics much faster.

Thanks for the tip! You maybe have an idea on a small project u could start with?

My personal starting projects were things like potion commands for factions servers and a blackmarket plugin, the latter makes use of the Vault API so it'll be good to help you get some basic API experience since you'll probably be using it a lot.

Alright thanks bro!

Offer free small plugins is the best way to start.

Thanks for the tips bit that seems to be extremely outdated..[DOUBLEPOST=1603776888][/DOUBLEPOST]

I mean, a language is a language, the way to code didn't randomly change

That is true lmao

That is true lmao

Go to development and then make a thread saying you are a new developer looking to learn how to code, and say that you are giving out small plugins etc etc.

The best tip: learn java before developing plugins

It's not even a tip, it's a must in my opinion. Developing plugins without even basic Java knowledge is going to make things so hard and you will eventually have to learn Java either way.
