📊 Total estimated time: ~3 hours to complete all tutorials
Before starting these tutorials, make sure you have completed the following:
- Download JDevTools from the releases page
- Place the JAR file in your server's
plugins/folder - Restart your server
- Verify installation by running
/jd helpin-game
Run the following command to create a practice project:
/jd create MyFirstPlugin
This creates a ready-to-edit project in:
plugins/JDevTools/workspace/MyFirstPlugin/
While these tutorials explain concepts as we go, basic familiarity with:
- Variables and data types
- Methods and classes
- Basic syntax (semicolons, braces, etc.)
will help you understand the code faster.
💡 Tip: Don't worry if you're completely new to Java! Each tutorial includes complete, working code examples you can copy and modify.
- Follow in order - Each tutorial builds on concepts from previous ones
- Type the code - Don't just copy-paste; typing helps you learn
- Experiment - Modify the examples and see what happens
- Check errors - Use
/jd log error <project>if something doesn't compile
Edit code → Restart server → Test in-game → Repeat
