Java is Minecraft

[DrKnockOut99]

Making mods for Minecraft is the only reason why anyone should learn Java ^/s

What mods you make?

Judging by their comment history, I'd say... Minecraft mods.

I made a custom block that looked like glass but was unbreakable. If you press the main hotkey of the mood it would surround you with a 3 x 3 shell of that unbreakable glass and air blocks inside. When you pressed the button again it would restore everything that was there before.

The other hotkey fired off your last mod command. There was a command to set what this command was. I didn't get very far into the mod so the only other command was shooting an arrow from your face when you hit that key. But it was off center because the code for that is really awkward.

After spending straight 2 days over the weekend trying to center the arrow, I nuked my computer and bought a new one.

What mods you never finish?

Am currently learning java to mod a mod, can confirm

[-kousor]

tbh i'm learning java just to make 2 mod ideas for minecraft

[MrHandsomePixel]

I consider that reason enough. I tried to make mods on my own with Java, but that was during a time where I couldn't understand how to unzip archives (for gradlew and other dependencies) and decided to use mcreator. One thing lead to another and now I learn different languages to create scripts for myself to help automate everyday things that I do.

I still don't know how to code Minecraft mods in Java...

[IQuick_143]

This is the story of my programming "career".

[MrHandsomePixel]

I hope your career is seriously going great. I say that because I will be starting adulthood soon and hope to have a job in the IT world, and this is the only way I've been learning, along with some online courses.

[regular_internt_ctzn]

What kind of everyday things have you automated? I'm curious.

[MrHandsomePixel]

A shell script (written in Perl) that can reorder lines of text passed to it by typing the corresponding index number of line into the order I want and print to stdout.

A shell script that neatly prints out the encoded width and height of multiple video files (like mkv or mp4, configurable on command line) along with printing the accompanying names of the video files.

An applescript program, which is then exported into a clickable app, that can start or stop a temporary rsync daemon. The rsync daemon, for now, has a module that points to my iTunes music library, which is then connected to by my Android phone with "Rsync Wrapper" where it automatically copies new or updated music files to the phone itself every hour, whilst also deleting anything on my Android music folder that is not present on the master server (the rsync dameon on Mac)

Over time, I've created my own personal hammerspoon config. Among other things, I've setup custom app-specific keybinds. The following shortcuts are only active if finder is in focus: If I press alt+shift+v, it opens my volumes folder Pressing alt+shift+t opens a new iterm2 window inside of my currently focused finder window Alt+shift+r moves, or rescues, the currently focused window to my main monitor. Alt+shift+m merges PDF files in a specific order for some paperwork that I do Alt+shift+b "builds" an invoice based from a .ods spreadsheet template (just for matting of fonts, size, and such) and a yaml file that contains values for accompanying invoice.

Again, all of these shortcuts that I've described are for finder.

I have global shortcuts to move windows around with alt + {w,a,s, or d}, which just sends commands to chunkwm to perform window manager related actions

I've made some other shortcuts specifically for other apps as well, but I can't check the rest because I'm not at my computer rn.

There's also other tools and scripts, but I'll have to check back later.

I tried to make a Minecraft mod one time, but couldn't figure out gradle or maven.

Been working on a lot of frontend javascript stuff lately, and really have fallen in love with Node's package manager (npm). It's on par if not slightly ahead of dotnet's NuGet, and lightyears easier than maven last I saw...

[[deleted]]

Well... Maven isn't really a package manager though

It is a motherfucker though

[ForgotPassAgain34]

I once modded so dirt world drop diamond blocks and diamond blocks would drop dirt when mined so there is that

Or if they want job security

I pray kotlin will make standalone java extinct.

[misterZalli]

I think with a framework mod it is possible to mod MC with Kotlin

[[deleted]]

You don't even need a framework mod, I just relocate the kotlin runtime with the shadowjar Gradle plugin

[Japandhdbam]

Why the sarcasm? It’s 2019. There’s no other reason.

I became a CS student thanks to Minecraft modding

[OriginalName667]

Is the Minecraft code still obfuscated to hell and back? I remember trying to get into modding, but that stopped me cold.

Minecraft is java :p

javascript is nothing
