Both the plugins that we made in this chapter have the entire code within a single class. However, you may choose to separate these into the main plugin class and a listener class. In small plugins like these, it is not necessary. But in larger projects, it will keep your code much cleaner. There will be a few differences, such as having static variables or passing a variable to another class. In the next chapter, we will complete the MobEnhancer plugin by adding configuration as well as a reload command. We will have the Listener and CommandExecutor as a part of the main class. Once the plugin is complete, we will go over the differences for the same plugin as three individual classes.

We start by instructing you through how to set up your home PC for Minecraft server development. This includes an IDE complete with the required libraries as well as a Spigot server to test on. You will be guided through writing code for several different plugins. Each chapter teaches you new skills to create plugins of increasing complexity, and each plugin adds a new concept of the Bukkit API By the end of the book, you will have all the knowledge you need about the API to successfully create any type of plugin.
