[JAVA] How to study Bukkit Plugin

Background

The theme was posted in the theme box. It's quite difficult from the beginning ... w For the time being, the study method differs from person to person, so there is no right answer, but I would like to explain what everyone has in common.

To be honest, I have no choice but to look up various articles

It's not stupid to start writing code after understanding all the Bukkit code and Java as well. There are many people who make Plugins, so read the articles they created and look at the Is this behavior when using this code'' or the Plugin source that has already been distributed, Ah, there is such a way of writing ``, I think that there is only such a steady effort.

I still don't understand

** The main subject is from here. ** Probably most people say I can't understand even if I read the article, I can't read the source code. If you can't read and understand the literature, is there anything else you can do?

If you can't understand even after reading various articles, you have to ask a question?

If you can't understand after reading the article, ask an expert. That's all. If you can ask someone, you'll be asked in a conversational format until you understand `` I don't know here ...''. It's okay if you don't understand this ... ** It doesn't become ** Why? Beginners can't ask questions because they don't know how to ask questions in the first place. Even if I ask a question, the other person cannot understand it and I get stuck. Hmmm, you thought you couldn't do it anymore, no, if you don't know how to ask a question, study how to ask a question.

How to ask a question

** As a general premise, check before asking a question. ** Ask questions only when you don't understand. You don't have to remember how to ask a question. If you forget it, you can jump to this article and pull the template.

1. Why are you in trouble

Plugin does not work properly. The way to say is ** absolutely NG **. What is that normal? When telling, you have to tell the difference in an easy-to-understand manner: "the action you want to make", "the action that actually happened", and "what you want me to tell you". For example

I tried to display a scoreboard with different contents for all players on the right side, but the display was successful, but I am in trouble because I can not use it with the scoreboard team. Can you tell me how to display different content on the right side while belonging to the same team?

It feels like. If this,

Action you want to make:I want to display different contents on the right side while belonging to the same team
Actual operation:I was able to view different content, but I wasn't allowed to belong to the same team
What you want me to tell you:How to display different contents on the right side while belonging to the same team

You can see in one shot. If you know so far, you can immediately answer "Oh, that's impossible without using Packet".

The scoreboard does not work properly.

Even if it is said, "Is that so? It can only be returned as ``.

2. Communicate the environment

No. 1 Why are you in trouble? As important as . At a minimum, I think it's okay if you have a server version , a Java version , and a code you're using ``. In addition, should I tell the OS as needed? Sometimes people say that it's embarrassing to show the code you wrote, so don't show it, but those people should try to solve it by themselves. Why did I go to an electric shop and say, "My radio broke, can I fix it? By the way, I won't show you the radio." I thought it would be fixed. I can't fix it.

template

For the time being, if you use the template below, you should get an answer that you can ask any question.

Action you want to make: 
What actually happened: 
What you want me to tell you: 

Server version: 
Java version: 

Code used: 

The best server version is the long one that appears when you do / ver, and the best Java version is what you see when you do java --version. ** Please write in detail anyway. ** The counselor cannot read your mind.

How to reply

If you ask a question, you should get various solutions. For example, let's say the code is sent with the feeling Try this code. Let's say that it didn't work as expected. Then No. It is also ** NG ** to reply with. It is necessary to explain how it was not good. For example

Nothing changed from the behavior of the code I sent earlier.

And,

Nothing changed in behavior, but I got the following error

Or, if you don't reply so that you know what to do next, the other person will be in trouble. Anyway, if I hit information that seems to be related to various solutions, I will solve it someday.

If you get an error ...

If you get an error, send the full text. Occasionally, there are people who send only the top part of the error, saying ○○, but that's not good because I don't know what line is wrong. If you send the full text, you will know what is wrong, so let's send the full text.

Find someone who can ask questions

Once you understand this, you can probably solve most problems by asking an expert. I'll ask you to tell me everything according to the template above? If you have an expert around you, ask that person if you find something you don't understand. If you don't like that, you can go to our Development Group and ask. Even if you're not at home, if you join a community group and ask, someone will answer.

Finally

As I said at the beginning, each person has their own way of studying, and there is no such thing as the correct answer. That's why it's very difficult to answer the question, "Tell me how to study," but it's easiest to ask people for the time being. If you get lost, Google Map, if you still don't understand, ask someone, right? It's the same, and if you ask someone, it will be solved soon. I support Plugin production beginners. I hope that the Minecraft area will not decline in the future.
