I'm looking to learn to code minecraft plugins. I've tried youtube videos and other things, but nothing has worked.

i can make a "okay" mod but i cant really help you with plugins sorry would if i could :/
hope you get helped
hope you get helped
Thanks anyways.
Well first I would learn Java basics, then work on making plugins. There are many websites to learn Java like http://www.codecademy.com/.
Codecademy doesn't teach Java, though.
I looked at that website, and you can't learn Java on it. I've tried watching youtube videos that taught java first, and it didn't work.
Coding isn't really something you can pick up in a few hours or even days :P
Mastering / completely learning a language can take months of time

Yup. It took me a few months to really "master" coding plugins. I've never looked into Java programming itself though.
I found a website I can learn from. It's interactive which I like.
Could you link it? I might want to check it out if it doesn't only teach Java.
Yeah but normally when you use those websites, (Are you using CodeCademy?), you don't really learn forreal, I mean, you might learn how to code a program but that's not all it is, it's one thing to code a program and make it work, but if you really want to take pride in your work you'll take the long route and learn how to make nice looking neat code- so that if you were to hand that off to another programmer or coder, they'll say 'Wow, this guy cares about what he's doing'
But at the end of the day, most people don't even go through with just learning the basics, so if you just learn how to make a program you're ahead of a lot of people.

I learned from this guy.

Then I learned a little from this guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EUPVpqwvZw
Explains stuff very well
Then I had to switch to this guy, Doesnt explain things very well but has like 80 videos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrMGokrBHdg
I really recommend learning java first it will keep you from asking questions of why some things arent working.

The only thing is with TheBCBroz is that his work isn't always the greatest and he shows invalid practices. For example, his video dealing with hashmaps can cause memory leaks on the server/computer. Sometimes it isn't always great to copy someone's work. I now just use TheBCBroz to learn methods used in Java.
I know that I won't learn to code from websites and youtube. I need someone to be there when I learn so I can ask questions and ask for help directly.
I've been using codeacademy the past week and it's treat me very well, as long as you don't skim through the reading and throughly understand the instructions and explanation, all should be well.
I've learned a lot from codeacademy in the past week and honestly I'd recommend it to others trying to code.
Also, learning directly minecraft coding will restrict your coding abilities because you are only using minecraft code edited into your own, learn other things that you can implement that couldn't be done with minecraft's vanilla code.

On Codeacademy I can't find the java section.
There is no Java section. However, there is a JavaScript. I recommend this guy, to learn Java in general.

you never really stop learning there is always more to know
If you really want to learn how to program, you need to be prepared to donate a considerable amount of time each day.
Last summer I spent 2-4 hours a day reading Java books, watching Java tutorials, and scanning through source code of various programs EVERY DAY. After about a month I knew the core parts of java, and was able to make a Bukkit plugin pretty easily.
If I can tell you one thing, its to avoid programming if you don't mind spending 20 minutes scanning endless lines of code to only find that the bug that was destroying your whole project was a misplaced set of brackets.
Here are some handy links to get you started...
http://www.codecademy.com/
- Check out the Javascript section. Its a good way to get started with programming. Once you learn javascript, you can easily transition into Java.
https://www.youtube.com/user/thenewboston
- If you want to dive straight into Java, check out this guy! Make sure you pay attention in his videos. I recommend taking notes that you can refer back to. Try and make a new program after every 1-3 videos
Hope you have fun!

Alright thanks.
try www.codecademy.com
it works for me. I'm pretty good with java, python and httml thanks to it

Can we just make something clear here for all the people linking him Codecademy? They only offer HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, and JQuery. They do not offer a course on Java. Stop suggesting it.
Yep, It does only offer those courses.
I think a few of us suggested him learning Javascript to get a foothold into the programming world. Its a lot easier to hop into Javascript than it is to Java.

I learnt Java from reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/189077 ... UTF8&psc=1
I find reading is easier than listening to someone on a video . But that might just be me.

Thanks for all the help guys. I've decided I'll do the codeacademy website to learn javascript first, then I'll start watching TheNewBoston. I may even buy a book.
Do you have any suggestions?
