[Log] Programming StormCraft as a Single Developer

I think this is where it goes...

Anyways, I started working on a server as a single dev(And builder, but I guess that isn't as important), and the plan is to have it 100% custom coded. And then I thought, hey! Why dont a make a log just for kicks?

Concept so things make sense: Map = A valley and a tower. You go into the tower to fight mobs, level up, build items with drops, and what not.

So yeah... I'm making a log.

Spoiler: Code

Alright so I just made a few packages for testing purposes, and made a small/simple API for my items(It's format is terrible because me+json=nightmares.

Code (Text):

public class item extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{
    HashMap<String, Long> DamageValues = new HashMap<String, Long>();
    {
       ItemStack oakbow = new ItemStack(Material.BOW, 1);
        ItemMeta oakbowmeta = oakbow.getItemMeta();
        oakbowmeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GREEN + "Oak Bow");
        List<String> oakbowlore = new ArrayList<String>();
        oakbowlore.add(ChatColor.GRAY + "Required Level: 1");
        oakbowlore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "Damage: " + ChatColor.RED + "2.5");
        oakbowlore.add(ChatColor.GREEN + "" + ChatColor.ITALIC + "Common Item");
        oakbowmeta.setLore(oakbowlore);
        oakbowmeta.spigot().setUnbreakable(true);
        DamageValues.put("Oak Bow", (long) 2.5);
    }
    {
        ItemStack oakstaff = new ItemStack(Material.STICK, 1);
        ItemMeta oakstaffmeta = oakstaff.getItemMeta();
        oakstaffmeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GREEN + "Oak Staff");
        List<String> oakstafflore = new ArrayList<String>();
        oakstafflore.add(ChatColor.GRAY + "Required Level: 1");
        oakstafflore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "Damage: " + ChatColor.RED + "1");
        oakstafflore.add(ChatColor.GREEN + "" + ChatColor.ITALIC + "Common Item");
        oakstaffmeta.setLore(oakstafflore);
        oakstaffmeta.spigot().setUnbreakable(true);
        DamageValues.put("Oak Staff", (long) 1);
    }
    {
        ItemStack oakjavalin = new ItemStack(Material.WOOD_SPADE, 1);
        ItemMeta oakjavalinmeta = oakjavalin.getItemMeta();
        oakjavalinmeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GREEN + "Oak Javalin");
        List<String>oakjavalinlore = new ArrayList<String>();
        oakjavalinlore.add(ChatColor.GRAY + "Required Level: 1");
        oakjavalinlore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "Damage: " + ChatColor.RED + "3.5");
        oakjavalinlore.add(ChatColor.GREEN + "" + ChatColor.ITALIC + "Common Item");
        oakjavalinmeta.setLore(oakjavalinlore);
        oakjavalinmeta.spigot().setUnbreakable(true);
        DamageValues.put("Oak Javalin", (long) 4.5);
    }
    {
        ItemStack oaksword = new ItemStack(Material.WOOD_SWORD, 1);
        ItemMeta oakswordmeta = oaksword.getItemMeta();
        oakswordmeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GREEN + "Oak Sword");
        List<String> oakswordlore = new ArrayList<String>();
        oakswordlore.add(ChatColor.GRAY + "Required Level: 1");
        oakswordlore.add(ChatColor.GOLD + "Damage: " + ChatColor.RED + "4.5");
        oakswordlore.add(ChatColor.GREEN + "" + ChatColor.ITALIC + "Common Item");
        oakswordmeta.spigot().setUnbreakable(true);
        DamageValues.put("Oak Sword", (long) 4.5);
     
    }
}
 

I'm not gonna lie it isn't effective, but it works, and that's all I care about right now.
**Once I add levels Ill add a new HashMap for levels so that there actually is a requirement.

I also added a "crafting" type item where you can use it to make weapons.

Code (Text):

if(e.getEntity().getName().equals(Mobs.weakzombiemob)){
            ItemStack k = new ItemStack(Material.ROTTEN_FLESH, 1);
            ItemMeta ki = k.getItemMeta();
            ki.setDisplayName(ChatColor.GRAY + "Rotting Bone");
            List<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
            lore.add(ChatColor.GRAY + "Tier 1 Bone");
            lore.add(ChatColor.GRAY + "Used for handles, blades, arrowheads, and spearheads.");
            lore.add(ChatColor.RED + "Crafting Item");
            ki.setLore(lore);
            e.getDrops().set(1, k);
        }
 

and lastly, a messy way to add mobs.

Code (Text):

@EventHandler
public void kkk(EntitySpawnEvent e){
    if(e.getEntity().getName().equals(Mobs.weakzombiemob)){
        if(e.getEntity() instanceof LivingEntity){
            ((LivingEntity)e.getEntity()).setHealth(5);
            }
    }
}
 

and lastly, this:

Code (Text):

public static String weakzombiemob = ChatColor.RED + "[" + ChatColor.GOLD + "Lv1" + ChatColor.RED + "] " + ChatColor.GOLD + "Weak Zombie" + ChatColor.RED + "[" + ChatColor.GOLD + "Neutral" + ChatColor.RED + "]";
 

Right now I use commandblocks to spawn these for testing, but I'll make a command that's like /testmob [arg0]
with arg0 being weakzombiemob and it basically spawns a weak zombie where you are.

The idea is a tower in the center of a valley, and most of the game is in the tower.

 

I heard someone say this is the section, but I'm just doing this for fun and I dont think it matters too much

 

aight

The command blocks spawn the mobs and what not

they dont do anything less or more, and right not Im playing with concepts.



And for everyone else, I was told this is where to throw dev logs but whatever

 

Oh, dont worry. I dont feel bad or anything
