Exploring the Bukkit API
Now that you are familiar with the Bukkit API documentation, I advise you to look through it on your own. You will find interesting methods; many of these methods will spark ideas for cool plugins that you may want to make. Note that there may be additional links to view more methods for an object. For example, a Player
is a type of LivingEntity. Therefore, you can call a LivingEntity method on a Player
object. This inheritance is shown after the method summary, as shown in the following screenshot:
If you are ever going to try and think up an idea for a plugin, browsing through the API documentation will surely give you some ideas. I suggest reading the class pages, listed as follows, as they will be the classes that you will frequently use in your future plugins:
