Building Minecraft Server Modifications Review: Love it!! - It shows a lot of what to do and I think it is good if you are making a server Review: Great book, excellent read, needs better editing. - After reading the first 3 chapters I was able to create my first sample plugin for the Minecraft Bukkit (CraftBukkit) server software. Building Minecraft Server Mods is the first book by Cody "Codisimus" Sommers. A great piece of technical writing by a beginner, the first version of the book does suffer from a few editing errors, but I believe that to be a problem caused by the publisher and should not be held against the author. This book is not for beginners, and Cody explains that very early on. I have a bit of experience with Java and I teach computer programming so I had no trouble following the explanations. Cody explains just enough to you to complete the things you need without making it too complicated. I did have a few problems at the start because I tried using Eclipse (which I am not very familiar with) instead of NetBeans which Cody uses throughout the book but I was able to get everything working. He even provides a link to his website where readers can learn basic Java if they don't have experience with the language. The examples are simple enough to understand but complex enough to make them useful and to give you more meat to work on for developing your own plugins or using his examples as a base to start from. The prose of the book is very informal and should be easy to understand for most readers. I was quite happy to start learning how to create plugins for Minecraft servers and the ideas provided in Cody's book have really got me excited about starting some projects. Great work by a new author! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,858,440 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #323 in Minecraft Guides #452 in Java Programming #915 in Game Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (11) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 0.32 x 9.25 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1849696004 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1849696005 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 126 pages | | Publication date | September 25, 2013 | | Publisher | Packt Publishing | ## Images ![Building Minecraft Server Modifications - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CUx74FPHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it!! *by J***. on November 6, 2016* It shows a lot of what to do and I think it is good if you are making a server ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book, excellent read, needs better editing. *by S***P on October 30, 2013* After reading the first 3 chapters I was able to create my first sample plugin for the Minecraft Bukkit (CraftBukkit) server software.

Great work by a new author! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Good, Though Slow, Way to Start Learning Bukkit APIs *by N***E on June 9, 2015* This a good way to get started learning the Bukkit API. It does have its flaws. The first (though beyond the author's control and probably not a problem when it first came out) is that its becoming outdated. The first plugin you write assumes a method that now returns a collection will return an array. Fortunately its not easy to convert, but you have to know enough Java and be familiar enough with your IDE to to figure it out. Someone who wasn't yet comfortable with these things could be lost. Another is the paradox of saying you should know Java before hand for the book to be useful, and then assuming you don't and teaching a lot of Java basics. I know this probably isn't really completely a flaw, as many may read don't have this knowledge, but for me it did at times feel like too much hand holding on knowledge I thought would be assumed. I would say that if you want to do much with Bukkit of Forge you should know or learn Java -- it will really open up possibilities, and is really the only way you can fully understand anything you aren't spoon-fed. The third is that it spend too much time just talking about servers and how to run them for my taste. Again, like with the Java basics this cuts both ways as many are likely to pick this up because they are into the game and dream of running a server and having custom plugins without actually having run a server before. Slow is something that cuts both ways, depending on how much you know -- for many it may be a good things -- if you know how to run servers and know Java (I've been using Java for years, have run a couple small servers, and written Forge mods, so I probably was ahead of many readers) this may seem to go to slow and the first three chapters may be skipable, but its still does a good job introducing Bukkit). If you are completely new to all this, then this will get you started, as long as your willing to keep learning. Over all its a good book, a good way to get started with the Bukkit API; also, the Kindle version is an excellent deal and lack the flaws found in Kindle editions of some books. Just be warned that in the future Bukkit itself my come to be replaced by a newer API called Spoonge. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/8587291-building-minecraft-server-modifications](https://www.desertcart.is/products/8587291-building-minecraft-server-modifications) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
