Where To start learning Java Bukkit Coding?

Can someone give me a link on where to start off learning how to code bukkit plugins? I know nothing about java and I only know how to start off a class package. The IDE I'm using is IntelliJ ​

This is all of the I guess you call code I have by saying I know how to start off a plugin:​

​

Code:

package test;
 
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class test extends JavaPlugin

Yea I know, its pretty pathetic, but what can I say..

Don't start him off there.

Start with this video, until you've understood the basics of java (ints, methods, hashmaps, arraylists, etc.) Then go to the BCBroz as xboxnolifes said.

Also, take a look at this after you've learned basic java:
http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_Tutorial

Good luck!

Yeah, start there. I just assumed like 90% of the threads around here that the OP actually didn't want to learn Java first.

My apologies.

 

DuckSlayerHD http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/
Or watch thenewboston

 

I would only use this http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ if you have coded before, thenewboston is better for new programmers. Just my opinion DuckSlayerHD

 

Acer_Mortem xboxnolifes xboxnolifes Do not use TheBCBroz for Bukkit API tutorials, they teach bad and/or outdated methods.

Don't watch BCBroz.

See my post:

 

KK, Thanks guys!

 

While indeed they teach bad methods of going about things towards the middle/end of the series, the general basics near the beginning, at least in my opinion, serve as a good starter for learning how to code with the Bukkit API.

 

No, they're not. There are much better tutorials that you can use and you should never, ever, watch TheBCBroz.

 

Not wishing to start a flame war on this, that is your opinion, and I have my own. However, let's just have DuckSlayer learn how he wishes, choosing any method he wants, regardless of what we think of them.

 

Acer_Mortem HyrulesLegend You can say not to watch them, but chances are he will at least try it. Same with learning java before bukkit, most people try bukkit first. Let DuckSlayerHD find out himself, all we can do is give advice

 

TheBcBroz may have a lot of inefficient code, and bad practices (mostly in the middle of the series), but nonetheless their videos are a still great resource for beginners.
