Lab note What I wrote down while learning this by building with it. Short by design; the code is in pfeilbr/minecraft-spigot-plugin-playground.
minecraft-spigot-plugin-playground
Learn plugin development for the spigot minecraft server.
Project Setup and Configuration
see Creating a blank Spigot plugin in IntelliJIDEA
Add spigot.jar
Artifacts
Remote Debug Configuration
Developing (hot swap/live coding)
- launch minecraft server in debug mode
cd ./minecraft-spigot-server
./start.command
# java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005 -jar spigot-1.12.2.jar
- Launch Debug confifguration in IntelliJ
Set breakpoints, etc. in code
Launch minecraft and play
Breakpoints will be hit.
Use Evaluate Code Fragment to explore while debugger is paused
You can edit code, save, and build (cmd-F9). It’ll live apply/hot swap without stopping server.
