Bukkit / Spigot ServerĪs far as I can tell Bukkit is the old thing, and Spigot is the new thing, and Bukkit just pointed me to follow instructions on Spigot.

However, perhaps I should have been looking for Spigot templates! Figuring all of this out only took an hour or so, and at the end of it, I was able to create a mod that left me with a world which you can see below. This post should serve as a guide that works today, and I also now have a template bukkit mod on GitHub that you may find useful, as all Bukkit templates that I found were years out of date. My journey starts here, and with the fact that I can see an class imported. I stumbled upon a video by one of the fastest-growing Minecraft YouTube channels ( Dream) in which he quickly demonstrates creating some mods from suggestions in comments. I have owned Minecraft Java for several years, but despite being a software developer, I have never looked into creating a mod, until now! This is certainly a different topic compared with my regular blog posts, but as always, I hope it will help someone somewhere.
