Hm so yeah, my first blog post on here.

About a year ago just at the start of summer I wanted to become a plugin developer for the Bukkit project and make my own contribution to the community but I didn't know much Java or even have a decent idea of what kind of plugin to make. So after a few days of trying to learn how Java works from Youtube tutorials from TheNewBoston. I didn't learn much and what I was learning was so so basic I knew it'd be a while before I got anywhere near the bukkit API.

Eventually I just lost site after a mere week at stopped learning how to program in Java :(

But alas! A year later (well, right now) I'm currently doing my final exams in secondary school (high school for you Americans) and I've been stuck inside studying and playing the occasional few games. It then just came to me that this time last year I wanted to make a plugin again! There bukkit community had developed greatly in this space of time and the amount of references and open source code to look at and learn from is huge! So I got to work.

Within 2 days my first practical plugin was was ready to go out in its first alpha stage! I thought it'd take weeks but I picked a small plugin to develop and stuck with it for several hours.

I have since then added additional code to the plugin to make it fit for purpose and now, it is in its beta release with the likelihood of it being completed in the coming week. You can download it and try it on your server and it's 100% bug free.

Well, I think boredom compelled me to write a blog post, and now I must return to study as my final exam is on Monday.

If you have any questions let me know in the comments or if you'd like to take a look at the plugin mentioned in this post you can find it here
