Plugin Help How much Java do I need to know?

The title says it all, but I have been told to learn Java before I go into bukkit development. So my main question is how many elements and how much Java do I need to know?

Thanks in advance

I learned the basic syntax of java and most of the basic tools before I started coding. An easy thing to do is to watch some youtube vids.

 

I have tried so many YouTube videos, but I always get confused and couldn't learn from them.

 

@DominicGamesHD Hmm, I always found them useful. Well there is a lot about java you can just learn from writing plugins or watching youtube videos of people making plugins. Have you tried those? There is one series I know of that is going on right now. Link

 

Thank you very much, can't wait to try this series out <3 xx

For starting out, you need to know three basic things:

1. The syntax for java and how to use its operations.
2. How to troubleshoot and read error logs.
3. How to learn new methods/ how to use google.

Once you have these things covered, everything else will come naturally while writing plugins.
