Spells

The spell class has three main methods that have to be present for every spell.

• Any spell that is created must include all three of these methods.

In this example we will go over how to create basic spell - one that doesn’t use any other methods to perform what it needs to do.

• The spell we will create is the Create Armor spell, which gives the caster resistance 1 for 13 seconds.

The Create Armor spell, which was originally developed by silgaminglol.

The Class

The first thing to do is to create the class for the spell.

The class name is only used to find it in the plugin.

• It should start with a capital letter and have no spaces.
• If there are multiple words in the class name, each word should start with a capital letter.
• All the following code we write should be inside this class.

The class should also extend the default Spell class, which allows us to use the Spell methods described below.

public class CreateArmor extends Spell {

}

The Constructor

The constructor is the thing that specifies what the spell actually is.

• It sets up the spell attributes for the spell.
• A constructor is a special method that doesn’t require a return type to be indicated.
• The name of the constructor should be the same as the name of the class.
