Let‘s Play.Programmieren lernen mit Java und Minecraft

For Bukkit and Spigot

Create your own world: craft powerful new weapons like a fire sword, build towers and entire houses at the push of a button, and automatically respond to changes in the world. Develop new crafting recipes and your own game modes, such as a snowball fight with a high score list, with extensive references to all programming commands.

Have you been playing Minecraft for a long time and think you've seen it all? Do you know about the fire sword, the ender bow, or the game mode "snowball fight"? Do you want to build towers, walls, or even entire houses at the push of a button? Automatically react to events in the game world? With your own plugins, you can discover all this and much more while also learning to program.

Daniel Braun shows you how to program extensions for Minecraft, known as plugins, using Java and Bukkit or Spigot, which you can then try out with your friends on your own Minecraft server. No prior knowledge is required; you will learn everything from the ground up.

After programming simple chat commands, you will create cool building plugins, so that with a single command, a finished house or a sphere appears right in front of you. You will also learn how your plugins can automatically respond to events in the game world.

You can also design your own crafting recipes to create powerful new weapons, like the fire sword that ignites everything it touches. In the end, you will even learn how to develop your own game modes, essentially a game within the game. Whether it's a snowball fight with a high score list or a collection contest with rewards for the winner, there's plenty of fun guaranteed.

For all of this, you don't need any prior knowledge, just a passion for programming. It starts with very simple examples, but with each chapter, you will discover more ways to customize Minecraft to your liking.
