There are several free resources available for learning Java, especially for those interested in Minecraft development. One popular option is the official Java documentation provided by Oracle. It offers comprehensive information on Java programming concepts, syntax, and features. Additionally, websites like Codecademy and Coursera offer free Java courses that cover the basics of the language.
For aspiring Minecraft developers specifically, the Spigot website provides valuable resources and tutorials on creating server plugins using Java. The Spigot API is commonly used in Minecraft server development and offers a wide range of functionalities for customizing gameplay.
In addition to online resources, joining communities like the Minecraft Development Discord server can provide support and guidance from experienced developers. Participating in coding challenges and hackathons related to Minecraft can also help improve your skills and connect with others in the field.
Overall, a combination of self-study, practice, and engagement with the community can help you become a proficient Java developer for Minecraft servers. Remember to consistently seek out new learning opportunities and be proactive in applying your knowledge to real-world projects.
We recommend starting with:
For learning Java, we recommend MOOC.
It is a completely free introductory Java course created by the University of Helsinki, it is a great way to learn Java from the ground up.
Visit MOOC here:
https://java-programming.mooc.fi
(the course is available in both English and Finnish)
- The MOOC teaches a broad introduction to programming in Java in two parts - one at beginner, and another at intermediate level.
The end of the course is marked by creating your own Asteroids game clone! - The MOOC allows using features up to Java 11 - you can install Temurin OpenJDK 11 from the Adoptium project.
- To submit exercises for evaluation, you need to configure an Editor/IDE (Integrated Development Environment) with the TMC Plugin.
The course instructions will suggest to use TMCBeans/NetBeans or VS Code for the course, but you can also use IntelliJ, which we generally recommend.
- TMCBeans/NetBeans is the easiest to configure - but has the most dated user experience
- VS Code is very popular as an editor, but it is quite new for Java Development. Some extra configuration is needed.
- IntelliJ arguably has the best user experience and is most widely used Java IDE by professionals.
IntelliJ requires installing a version no newer than2023.1- because the IntelliJ TMC Plugin doesn't work with newer installs.
The IntelliJ Community version is completely free and all you need to install the TMC plugin.
To use IntelliJ with the MOOC, simply install the TMC plugin by opening IntelliJ -> File -> Settings -> Plugins and searching for TMC. You will then be able to use IntelliJ to complete MOOC.
