agreed

[@Legitimoose]

At 9:05: Use the latest version from here papermc.io/using-the-api At 7:14: Change the api-version to your desired version (e.g. 1.19) Don't forget to reload Maven!

bro finally i can find a tutorial of kotlin plugins for minecraft that isn't in german

Why don't just use Visual Studio?

[@vithrn123]

@@privatechannel1272 like he said in the video since jetbrains made kotlin the easiest way to convert java to kotlin while coding is with jetbrain's Intelij

@@vithrn123 except not cause he just says to figure it out yourself in the end smh

[@SyberiaK]

Thanks for the tutorial! I was in fact smashing my head in the wall trying to figure out how to do it, and you made it so simple and convenient to follow! Of course, in 2024 some things have changed like creating a new project (just choose "Minecraft" -> "Bukkit" in "Platform" -> "Paper" in "Bukkit Platform", every other setting is still there, but on a single screen) or converting the project from Java to Kotlin (right-click on your .java file, not the project root), and I'd rather use Gradle for compiling, but the steps are almost exactly the same. Great job!

[@WafflesTk]

Hey can you point out the directory of the .java file?

[@SyberiaK]

@@WafflesTk hey there, it's your main mod file (src/main/java/*your mod group*/*your mod id*)

[@imnotoverzealous1545]

Thank you, I could not figure out why the same option of conversion wasn't appearing for me

[@oreiboon]

Recently, I decided "Hey, I want to make plugins for a very funny server idea" (because the skript plugin just isn't it for me) and remembered this channel, lo and behold, I found this video. Overall, really great tutorial, enjoyed how you explained each step. Keep up the good work!

I wouldn't say that. That's just a visual change. Plugins can really change your gameplay, that's how you can play on a hypixel server without downloading any client side mods. It's all plugins.

[@oreonokamithecookie7727]

this man made me interested in coding only by himself huge fan

[@coolearth4511]

For those of you who are coming to this video in 2023, you will need to change the platform from "Sponge" to "Bukkit" and select Paper as the initial screen with all the options for the platform is gone now

My guy is back! These videos really help me! Keep it going buddy!😀

[@alexanderpoukhlovski]

I never thought a tutorial could be so fun to watch! I would love to see some more of these, maybe about how to make a command work or something

[@pointyposeidon]

Hope to see some more videos on Minecraft modding with Kotlin! Great work

[@zramctl]

modding?

[@juddery]

As a software developer myself but someone who has never tried developing a Minecraft plugin before, I'm definitely digging that sense of humour you've got going there. 😁 Java was the first language I ever learned, but haven't touched it in over 10 years, so this should be err... fun?

[@SnowyRedstone]

welp I learned to code Java last summer, coded some fabric mods, but once I realized how easy coding a datapack is, lets just say that I haven't used intellij in a long time

[@TyricSatyric]

This only video was better than the 19283827382 other guides in KZbin together XD

[@Psyan]

[@officialzeroninja]

This video is great. Would like to see another one where you show how to make a simple plugin like adding a command or something :)

[@TGIFPluto]

I would love to, when I try to create commands it doesn't work, even if i searched for hours...

[@dev_insights101]

To everyone watching this without any knowledge of java: I would recommend to learn little bit of java. Things such as project managers and some code syntax and also how IDE wok.

[@kaninchenspeed]

changing the java version in the pom.xml file allows the use of newer java features

[@CodeCreature]

Started learning code in Java... I will probably never choose to use that language again! 😅Great tutorial!

[@oriinafloresta]

I love how I'm just opening the app when legitimoose is putting the plugin on the server

[@TyricSatyric]

ur channel is very underrated

[@maxtb8481]

could you do more videos on plugins as well as datapacks? you're very good at explaining btw

[@JustArandomDude010]

This is why I am subbed to this dude

[@BluePotatoBP]

I'm 90% sure the reason stuff breaks when you use a space in the actual file name is because windows/whatever program you're using doesn't recognize it as a valid directory, for example: To access a folder on your desktop named "Funny Project" you basically have to think about it as if you were using a terminal- **cd C:\Users\User\Desktop\Funny Project** And if you've ever tried that, you would get an error. ("The system cannot find the path specified.") That's why you might see people use quotes after **cd**, so **cd "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Funny Project"** actually works. This is also implemented into tab completion in terminals, if you try writing **cd(space)** and then pressed tab you can occasionally get directories surrounded in quotes. Hope this helped!

[@MellowMustard]

I looked for a video like this for 2 weeks.. thank you so much

[@wbrim]

Thanks to you, I was able to add new features to and existing plugin, compile it and contribute to the main repo ✨

[@torge2232]

About the "Unsolved Mysteries of Java Versioning". My understanding is that newer Java JVMs are backwards compatible. So for example a JVM with Java version 17 can run code written for Java version "1.8". Although a JVM with the version 1.8 can't run code written for newer Java versions, because it lacks the new features. This might not be a 100% correct, because I just wrote that of the top of my head.

[@Brob3r]

Well instead of setting up an IDEA artifact you could've just expanded the maven goals on the right and double-click package. This will create a new maven run that will package your jar for you and is more universal than IDEA artifacts

[@crola7169]

pretty sure the pom.xml java version is useful when you are building via maven, to do so you would need to delegate build and run tasks to maven in intellij, however these steps are not required in this case everything works, and if everything works then there is no need to mess with it

[@citybuildmc2516]

Hey Legitimoose... i noticed the java version thing 11:00 . It is because there are 2 types of Java. Java RE and JDK the RE is the Runtime aka waht a consumer installs so he can istall and use minecraft or install things like forge. java 17 is the JDK the Java Development Kit. the Java JDK now is at 23 and the Java RE still at 1.8 so that's the java 1.8 version!

[@CraftBlack]

Thanks! 🥰

[@DrollerApollo13]

I am trying to code my first minecraft plugin but all the videos I watch seem outdated. When using the minecraft developers plugin it never gives the option to use paper and go through the steps as shown in the video. Any help would be appreciated!!

[@mrguny8715]

Hi, if you still need help in order to select paper you neeed to select bukkit then you chose betwen paper and spigot, hope this helped

[@foxiqval69]

just to be clear, the java.version is only for some configuration if it was public, the jvm target tmk is also useless. i like to change it anyway cuz im a fan of doing dumb things

[@pancakehiatt]

part 2? no one else made a tutorial for kotlin and papermc. they're all for spigot

[@sullymlg9785]

1:20 Oh yeah - if you like redstone.. choose neither and learn fabric. (or choose paper but paper still makes redstone a bit jank)

[@LMC.AudiusParty]

please do more ! please is possible to make something where you take an open-source project and contribute to it ? thanks for any answer!!!

[@hinterhaeltiger]

you can build the artifact in the maven tab

[@luckybeeyt]

Will it work for 1.16.5?

[@fishimply]

so what is the extreme fly part??? i dont know java

[@owopotato]

Is there any documentation on Paper/Spigot in Kotlin? Or any way to know how the java is converted without just guessing?

[@Legitimoose]

If you copy/paste complete java code into a Kotlin file, it will automatically ask if you want to convert it!

[@blakedoesmc]

wouldve loved to see a plugin made i got it all setup but theres no tutorials out there for paper kotlin syntax development (that are in english anyway that i can find) i was hoping to build a /fly plugin for my sever to test this but now i'm lost with a hello world plugin that i cant even see in game

[@TuttuTheDog]

the moose is back again

[@dj8201]

HELP! i cna't convert it to kotlin

[@HxppyFan]

Thx for helping! But what about to explain how to detect some of events player? Just like for flying (double jump)?

[@BusterBrown1217]

It would be nice to see how an experienced person goes through the documentation because it can be really confusing for people who don't know what they're doing (people like me)

[@Legitimoose]

that's a good idea lol. knowing how to read documentation is obviously very important, and people rarely show how to do it. maybe some kind of "let's code" could work, or just a good ol tutorial. thanks for the suggestion! (no promises I'll make it tho ;) )

Where s the maven? You can setup the maven to install through

[@vooodre2715]

Absolutely loved your video! But I have a question. I searched the web for paper docs on Kotlin but there weren’t any that I could find. Could you tell me where I could find one? And also, can you just convert java code that’s in the docs to Kotlin and use it?

[@Legitimoose]

Paper is written in Java, so there are not Kotlin docs available. _However!_ Kotlin is meant to be interoperable with Java, so the answer to your second question is yes! You can use the Java docs, and the IDE will usually help you convert things to Kotlin. You can even copy/paste entire snippets into IDEA and it will automatically convert it to Kotlin. Hope this helps!
