and what else? if I could tell what each thing exactly, thank you ...

I do not understand much: S

Pd: use google translator xD

 

Java and the Bukkit API.

You need to know Java. So make sure you learn that first.
Then read some tutorials here under the "Developers" section: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Main_Page
If you don't like reading or just learn better from videos just search "Bukkit Tutorials" on youtube and you will find lots of video tutorials to choose from.

By knowing what you listed above, you could create a very simple plugin.
If you want to create more advanced plugins you will need to know much more. So just watch or read some more tutorials and you will figure it out.

Good Luck!

 

Java is the most important thing to know when creating plugins. It is not a task that you can learn overnight. It'll take months at least to get a basic understanding if it is your first programming language.

EDIT:

You'll find lots...... of bad tutorials. Searching on how to learn Bukkit from unofficial tutorials on Youtube is a bad part of town.

Depends on the person learning. Some do better with the JavaDocs.

 

Without learning Java first, you will have a very hard time understanding what's going on and writing your own code in the future. I highly suggest you do that first. Also, I suggest not watching (most) people from Youtube, as you will likely develop bad habits from it.

True, its actually better to do than the methods I put.

If they know Java beforehand, then they should no what is bad code.

I think the wiki page is the best place.

 

If they know. If..... is the problem.

I wouldn't watch or read any bad tutorial. Their bad ways loses my trust with them.
But I do agree that the wiki page is the best place to go. It's how I started with Bukkit.

 

youtubers like the BCBroz made some pretty good tutorials its just that theyre a bit outdated to the old, non-maven version. Some tutorials out there are pretty good... then you have the ones with people teaching you how to code by using notepad to talk to you

 

Never watch TheBCBroz...

 

mastermustard Outdated and old is one thing, but it's not the only reason why their tutorials are bad. TBH, I don't see much problems with some / few tutorials using a regular editor. Some new developers depend on their IDE too much to the point that it's the IDE writing the code for them. And IDEs don't always make the best suggestions.

 

Oh no i meant notepad as in the people who dont use a microphone xD an editor is whatever floats that persons boat

 

Oh yeah. Any video, tutorial or not, who uses notepad to communicate messages are poor.

 

In my naive stupidity years I watched one of those videos on formatting a hard drive... Turns out they arent really all that good of paperweights...
But thats off topic so ill end my bit on this conversation

 

Oh, xD, thanks for you replies
But, I speak Spanish and I understand tutorials difficult, since all are in English, and most are those that explain more

and sometimes the translator mistranslated and does not understand anything, and they seem to say pure nonsense xD
Thanks for you replies
