Overview of this book

Minecraft is a sandbox game that allows you to play it in any way you want. Coupled with a multiplayer server powered by Spigot, you can customize the game even more! Using the Bukkit API, anyone interested in learning how to program can control their Minecraft world by developing server plugins. This book is a great introduction to software development through the wonderful world of Minecraft. 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. You can then practice and build your Java skills through developing more mods for their server.

Adding a permission node to plugin.yml


In the Enchanter project, open the plugin.yml file. Adding permission nodes is similar to how commands are added. On a new line, add permissions:. Ensure that this line is not indented at all. On the lines that follow, add each permission node that our plugin will use, followed by a colon. The next few lines will provide the attributes of the permission, such as its description. The following code is an example of how the plugin.yml file will look with the enchant permission node added. Ensure that the indentations are similar. Note that the version attribute should also be updated to indicate that this is a new and improved version of the Enchanter plugin:

name: Enchanter
version: 0.2
main: com.codisimus.enchanter.Enchanter

commands:
  enchant:
