Hello, I play minecraft a lot, and randomly build / insert plugins and mods for fun, and customize a lot of things in the configs ect.
I enjoy playing single player or Multiplayer with a few friends .

a couple of times me and an older friend of mine really wanted to start 3 types of modded servers, and 2 types of normal minecraft servers.
Changing configs, is pretty much somewhat simple, because the dev's give good samples/directions.

The problems we have been having is that
Ingame we have like maybe 3 or 4 voting plugins...

we have an issue with /vote
Because the game will override 1 plugin and give higher priority, so not all the commands are being listed.
so i was thinking of /judge instead of /vote
The issue is that, I have no java knowledge what so ever , so i don't know how to change all the commands into /judge commandblahblahblah

Another issue, is 1 of your mods is Tconstruct, and apparently the Dev guy uses Hex - code - data , for all of his tools/weapons via mini-mods for them.
I am trying to learn java, to see if I can hook that into other mods/plugins, and maybe even change it from hex code to something else.

Basically I want to learn the basics of java and a little more to help me with the near future.




So, I know some of you on this website are pretty smart, and some of you are very kind and helpful.
I was wondering if someone could give me like a beginners guide of where to start with java editing / making /creating / idea - changes ect ect ect.

Not really sure what I am looking for exactly.

Would like to see a few java programs that make quick editing or something like that idk..

Just to let you guys know, currently I am editing configs via notepad++

i'm not sure what "build / insert plugins" consists of, but it's a large step going from editing config files to programming. if all you want is a specific feature, then i suggest you pay someone to do it for you. it's a lot more cost effective than spending all those hours programming.

You probably want to start small then. Trying to learn Java while building extensions to the Minecraft platform is going to be counterproductive.

Also, the official site is never a bad place to reference. It may be deep and dry, but it is thorough.

also consulting the Javadoc from within your IDE is incredibly useful
