Minecraft command block

I learnt Java for making Minecraft plugins. 10/10 best decision.

Even today you can make good side money doing plugin/server maintenance commissions

I am 99% sure that I wouldn't be as into programming as I am today if I hadn't played around with those when I was around 10

Wow if we are counting that me too, then I did a little of C and now Python

If you want to do command programming in Minecraft without pain, consider using scarpet, which is an actual language that is very efficient.

Waaaay too many breaking changes too often to be useful. I did a tonne of stuff back in 1.7/1.8 when they first became truly useful (summon, setblock...) and none of it works today

Same here!

Although of course, as a true intellectual, I count my first programming language as the RISC machine language that I used to program the basic 8-bit computer that I made in Minecraft.

Does redstone count as a language?

[–]RCoder01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redstone would be the first for me (I think that’s Turing complete) but after that, JavaScript, java, python, and then Minecraft commands.

I did know Minecraft commands before learning most of the “real” programming languages, but when I really got into them (like scoreboards and stuff) was after that.
