This tutorial will explain from nothing how to build/create the CoreProtect plugin or 1.21 from it's source code on GitHub.
I am assuming you don't know anything and don't have anything installed and are using a Windows device.
Watch these tutorial videos (very short).
- You must use Java JDK 21. Download here. https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=21&os=windows&arch=x64
- Install Maven on Windows 11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTvlb6eny_0
- Install Git https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJTXh7g-uCM
-
Right click the "Start" or "Windows" icon on your taskbar.
-
Click "Command Prompt".
-
Type the following commands.
cd Desktop
git clone https://github.com/PlayPro/CoreProtect.git
You need to go to Desktop\CoreProtect\src\main\resources\plugin.yml and open the "plugin.yml" file in Notepad.
Change branch: ${project.branch}
to branch: developement
on line 4.
cd CoreProtect
mvn clean install
This process will take a while. You should see [INFO] BUILD SUCCESS when it is complete.
The plugin jar will be outputted in the FOLDER NAME\target\CoreProtect-version.jar
Do not use the .jar labelled "original".
Alright seems like a few of you got a teeeensy bit irked at my statement over an open source video game tool. To explain a bit more, it's just pretty unusual for a sandbox video game plugin to paywall their content, because normally they are available to the public on Modrinth and Spigot sites.
As CS oriented people, y'all have the express knowledge of actually knowing how to work around all these technical hoops and that's not representative of the typical person who may be just trying to run a video game world with their friends.
Hope u guys have a good day tho; there's no need for the rudeness when we express our own opinions :D
