How to make minecraft plugins.
Quickstart Guide: Minecraft Plugin Development
Step 1: Install Java
Pick The Right Java Version To Make Minecraft Plugins
Summary: You need the right type, distribution and version of Java.
Type: To play Minecraft, you need Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
To develop Minecraft plugins, you need JRE and Java Development Kit (JDK). The JDK includes a compiler to transform your code into a single jar file.
Distribution: Multiple companies build Java. We do not recommend Java from Oracle, because it requires a paid license for commercial and production purposes (such as if you make money from streaming Minecraft or running a Minecraft server).
Instead, we will use Microsoft OpenJDK which is the officially tested JDK for Minecraft.
Version: Minecraft 1.20.5+ requires Java 21.
