Summary

You are now familiar with most of the more complicated aspects of the Bukkit API. With this knowledge you are able to program almost any type of Bukkit plugin. Try putting all of this knowledge to use by creating a new plugin. Perhaps try writing an announcement plugin that will rotate through a list of messages to broadcast to the server. Use each of the following Bukkit API concepts to add new features:

• Add commands to allow an admin to add messages to be announced

• Add permissions to control who can add messages and even who can see the messages that are announced

• Add an EventHandler to listen for when players log in so that a message can be sent to them

• Add a config.yml file to set how often messages should be announced

• Add a save file to save and load all of the messages that are to be announced

• Use the Bukkit scheduler to repeatedly broadcast the messages while the server is running

For any plugin that you make, think of each of these segments of the Bukkit API to figure out some way...
