Introduction6:06

Starting a Local Server12:26
Setup a basic localhost server features optimized towards developing. The server is established on version 1.19.3, but feel free to download an older version.
Start a Local Server - Common Problems7:02
When setting up a server, I will compound some of the more FAQ into this video. Lot's of you face the same problems, which is totally okay! I just want to make a simple video explaining why.
Server Files Explained10:24
An overcomplicated explanation of the server files. Don't worry about these to much, as most of these files you won't ever have to edit. The big takeaway is that most of these files control the vanilla minecraft features.
Setting Up Intellij9:08
Setup the coding environment we will develop all of our plugins in. This will vary based on operating system, for additional resources I've added Mac and Linux installations.

Factions21:17
The second resource attached to this lecture is an updated version for the Faction Shop as newtShop was discontinued. I did not create this updated resource, by the way, one of our wonderful students here Kiaan has generously posted this for everyone to use which is greatly appreciated! It uses OneStopShop instead of newtShop and is a perfect solution if you need to update to 1.17 or just want a different option. I did do some research on the plugin so feel free to ask any questions about it in the Q&A section. Again thank you Kiaan and happy learning!
Skywars18:11

Plugin Setup11:04
The initial setup process for every plugin you will develop. This is to ensure the plugin will enable and disable without problem, and that we have correctly setup everything.
Simple Command19:07
Simple Listener14:35
Walk through with me on how to listen for events in Spigot. These is an incredibly crucial part of developing your first plugin.
Permissions9:36
More basic lecture just showing the one-liner of code that is permissions.
Plugin Instance & Constructors12:51
Establishing a few different methods of passing around the main plugin instance. This becomes a crucial part of development for spigot.
Command Arguments (2019)19:42
It's recommended to watch updated content when available. I leave these here purely to look back on.
Command Arguments - Part #111:23
Part one focuses mainly on how java and spigot read arguments and a bit of a confusing numbering system that comes with it.
Command Arguments - Part #28:16
Part two works on finishing up the command and explaining the complete walkthrough one more time, along with answering some possibly confusing questions.
Advanced Command Arguments20:15
Configuration - Creating, Reading, Using14:19
Configuration - Setting, Storing, Reloading15:06
Spigot Javadocs6:46
CHECKPOINT: Lobby Command27:25

Requirements

Operating System (..course is taught in Windows, all processes follow very similar instructions)
