  1. Now, ive just got into to java and attempted to make my own basic plugin, works ok but is simple. So i come across bigger plugins like factions or essentials. I want them but to look different and have different commands to do the same things. Basically i want to edit existing plugins with eclipse to make it my style. But i cant figure out how to edit the .class files with it. If someone could give me step by step instructions on editing the file that would be greatly appreciated.
    Also im using eclipse java neon version if that helps.

    @Samb8104 Try to find the source of the plugin instead. Will save you a lot of issues regarding build paths etc.

  4. So know do i just upload the .java files and edit them in eclipse?
    and would editing the message.properties make a difference to the text shown in-game?

    You download everything and import the project.

    @Samb8104 Do you know Java then? And how to make plugins in general?
     
  8. Not really, like basic code like sendMessage and stuff, the whole reason im using other plugins instead.

    @Samb8104 Then you shouldn't be modifying plugins that you didn't write.
    Learn Java, make your own plugins, then you can start modifying plugins.

    There are a lot of good tutorials for bukkit starters on youtube that can learn you the basics and if you keep watching them like i do you wil understand it at long last.
