Hello, I've been considering making a pet project for the sake of gathering new skills in programming. I always wanted to make mmo-rpg oriented minecraft server (even if it doesnt end up being any popular I dont really care about this aspect), but I just want to know from the entry how difficult this task might be from scratch and not much knowledge about Java or plugins. It would be something like: "If I right click with this item on my hand and it says "Skill damage: 300%" on it's description it will damage mobs for base damage times 3 on this area around me." or "If I click on this item in pop-up chest menu I will be teleported to certain location and a certain enemy will spawn."
#Im a beginner and need help.

What is the question?
This playlist is pretty nice
It goes from absolute shit to very advanced
rancid yoke
What is the question?
oh no I forgot to ask a question
😭
My question was supposed to be if such work for let's say maybe entire enemy behavior mechanics would be too much for one person to handle no matter how much I would try to learn, generally if I should pursue such project or get something less complicated/ambitious?
digital crater
No
For you it would be
For a dedicated person with advanced knowledge, it won't be
For example I scripted an entire game by my self, enemy physics, rendering, lightning, gun systems and tons of physics and such
You just need to learn first, start from basic don't try making something extreme

my biggest problem is that whenever I start doing something from scratch
let's take this spigot plugin tutorial as an instance
I watch a couple of videos and get stuck in a point, where I dont know what I should do, do I watch more or stop and practice what I saw, if so, then what I am actually supposed to do right now?
I am really bad at planning such roads step by step
digital crater
Practice
For example, I been in game development for like 4 years, I only watched like 50 videos more or less
rancid yoke
would practising be coding smaller plugins in that case?
digital crater
Videos do not help, you need to try and error
The more you do the more you learn
Yes, obviously
Just keep making a bunch of plugins and you will understand the setup of plugins
How you should do everything, how everything should be setup and such
rancid yoke
should I start from spigot plugin guide if I dont really have java experience? closest I have is knowing ideas of object programming and things such as loops, arrays, pointers, I dont think learning syntax would be much of an issue
digital crater
I suggest you just learn the basics of Java first, from like a lesson or two, then head to spigot development
If you have previous coding experience, it should be easy
rancid yoke
just Python
digital crater
Well then learn java first
rancid yoke
1 2 lessons as in basic syntax or how methods/classes work?
digital crater
I think you should just learn java first, because python and java is not similar at all, at least I didn't find it similar
