How to make a Bukkit plugin (No bad practice)

Hello I am bwfcwalshy, otherwise known as Walshy and I am here to make a Bukkit plugin tutorial series without using bad practice. If people can help and make things that I can add it then please do!

Part 1: Basic Setup

Part 1 (open) Part 1 (close)

To start your programming you need a project. Make one like in the picture below and call it what the plugin will be called:

To start of your development you need a package name, I like to use com.bwfcwalshy.plugin but of course for you it will be com. then your name/username . the plugin you are making.

Now to start coding your plugin! You need to make your main class which I like to call Main. You then need to extend it to JavaPlugin (shown below)


Then add:

Code:java

@Override
public void onEnable(){
 
}
@Override
public void onDisable(){
 
}

Overall class:

You could add some info (Said in a friendly laughy way)

 

CraftCreeper6 Yeah I accidentally submitted the post. There is now a first part.

You need to upload the images to Imgur

Better formatted to save space and altogether look better.

 

There's already a bad practice:
Package naming convention. You don't use "com." + your username, unless you own that domain.
I mean, you can use it, it's not illegal or anything, but it's a standard to just name it whatever domain you own, or if you don't own a domain, use your email.

 

Cirno I can tell it is bad practice, your signature is panicking about it.

 

http://bwfcwalshy.com/ actually exists, you just get a random 403

 

I meant in general; I don't think everyone here owns the .com domain for their username.
It would be pretty awesome if I owned cirno.com though.

 

xTrollxDudex Yeah it is 403 right now, I am redoing it.
