Personally I use IntelliJ IDEA but Eclipse is also popular. įrom here you can load the Mod template in your favourite IDE. Git clone https: ///addshore/bukkit-template-mod.git. # Make some directories for mod development

(Read the mod README for the most up to date guidance)Īfter having a working plugin I came around to realizing that Spigot templates are what I should have been searching for all along, and GitHub has some much more recently updated projects there. Parts of the tutorial ended up being useful, but if you already know how to program then my bare-bones mod template is probably a good starting point. While still focusing on Bukkit, I searched around and found an outdated blog post ( link), outdated templates ( one, two) on GitHub and also a very verbose tutorial. Once connected you can op yourself using the loaded server UI using the /op command. 2.jar Code language: PHP ( php )Īt this point, you should be able to load Minecraft Java and connect to localhost which will be the server that you have just run. # Agree to the EULA echo eula= true > eula.txt (Make sure you check the wiki for prerequisites and updated instructions) # Make somewhere to keep the codeĬurl -o BuildTools.jar https: ///jenkins/job/BuildTools/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/target/BuildTools.jar The first step is to simply follow which will download all of the needed things as well as build a Minecraft Java server with Spigot-API included.įor me, on Windows, with Java already installed, this was a simple as running the commands below.

However, perhaps I should have been looking for Spigot templates! Figuring all of this out only took an hour or so, and at the end of it, I was able to create a mod that left me with a world which you can see below. This post should serve as a guide that works today, and I also now have a template bukkit mod on GitHub that you may find useful, as all Bukkit templates that I found were years out of date. My journey starts here, and with the fact that I can see an class imported. I stumbled upon a video by one of the fastest-growing Minecraft YouTube channels ( Dream) in which he quickly demonstrates creating some mods from suggestions in comments. I have owned Minecraft Java for several years, but despite being a software developer, I have never looked into creating a mod, until now! This is certainly a different topic compared with my regular blog posts, but as always, I hope it will help someone somewhere.
