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".
Not a mod tho, it's not essential it's an anti grief plugin for servers meaning they complain about smth being paid, when they themselves use it on a server and its help them quite a bit, but also they don't understand why its, so-called "behind a paywall" (it's not btw), and It's not out to everyone because it's in active development and if anyone still want to have a build then they can do it, I could even make said builds (would contact the dev before so he knows I'm going to do it) so people like this, as you said, will be able to not go through all the trouble.
I'm not a "grown ass man shitting on said kids", I don't even shit on them, I just call out the outright bs they say and make others think the same way and things, it's like saying "It's scummy to make us pay for his hard work! How dare he!!" basically
