Where to learn Java by OriginaI August 9, 2016 at 4:08 PM UTC

Hi I have been wanting to learn java so I can make mods
 right now i am focusing on mods or server plugins. 
Anyways I do not know where to start because there are a lot of tutorials which don't really "teach" you, they just want you to copy and paste what they are doing, but I want to memorize and know what to do myself.

Please help, thanks!

I took java from an ap course, but you can learn from other sources.
This website: https://www.eimacs.com/about.htm is extremely good but you need to take a pretest and register and all that.

Beware, everything on the internet is free for a reason. codecacademy has good java lessons if you pay

Codecademy has java. I recommend thenewBoston if you want a voice tutorial. Does what you don't want, but helpful for descriptions. Codecademy is just reading, completing a code that they ask you to do, and then next part.

Website tutorials won't do a lot. 

Get familiar with just normal Java, and then you want to move on to the Bukkit API. Youtube tutorials for both should be the best.

Why would you want to learn java for coding unity games? Unity only uses javascript(technically untiyscript) and C#, Javascript being totally different from java.

Replied to smitdalt Thanks everyone!

i forgot that it uses javascript, when I used unity i always just used C#.

If you want to make more, try Mcreator. You can make more with zero programming language.
