Create your first Minecraft plugin by starting a new project, setting the artifact id, and building with Maven to produce the jar, then deploy it on the server.
Configure java options for a minecraft server, allocate minimum and maximum RAM, assess memory with task manager, remove startup delay with a job parameter, and fix maven dependencies.
Learn to make a Minecraft plugin configurable by reading a default config, loading a string list of trigger materials, and using a for loop to apply each configured item.
Learn to use Git and GitHub to clone, build, and deploy open-source Minecraft plugins. Practice desktop and command-line workflows, inspect commit history, and explore project setup.
Explore how to use the command api for Minecraft plugin development, compare dependency vs shading approaches, and implement an annotation-based warp command with permissions to teleport players.
Learn to use the Minecraft particle library Particle Leap across versions 1.8–1.19, shade it into your plugin with the Maven shade plugin, and spawn particles via a builder pattern.
Develop a Minecraft plugin that automatically chops an entire tree by listening for block break events, identifying logs and leaves, and recursively breaking connected blocks.
