What Do The Devs Mean By "code"?

Every time I hear a developer talk about adding new features, reducing lag, or increasing player count, they always bring up adding or improving code. Is there written code somewhere in the game that makes the server function, or is it part of the command blocks, which I highly doubt. Also, if the code is part of the game, and if I may ask, whats the code's language? Please tell me if I have the completely wrong idea of what the devs are actually trying to explain.

 

You should look into Java.

 

minecraft has code I don't get how you didn't know that.

 

They are talking about the code for the plugins

 

Like I said , I don't know how it really works. I honestly thought the game was just built on Java and I had no idea you can edit or add on to it. Goes to show how little I know about code :P. Thanks for clarifying.

 

Basically there are these things called plugins. Plugins are made by the developers, and put into the game via an external platform (spigot/bukkit) these plugins are what make the spells function, the powders work, the weapons work. This is what is known as the code. This code is written in Java. Hope that helps ;)

 

Danke, that explains everything, thanks!

 

No problem!

 

someoone who actually helped nice

 

Yes - specific features like spells, elements, I think the quest book, etc. Things that are faster, less buggy, and easier done than with command blocks.

There are things that command blocks do, like teleporting (not with scrolls, I don't think).

I'm not sure. It's for a custom (or multiple) plugin(s).

 

May I add plugins can also be programmed in python and C#, though Java, I find, is the most efficient which means Wynncraft is probably using Java.

 

Wynncraft is a very unique minecraft server because it is very heavily "modded" (not meaning traditional minecraft mods but instead simple changes to the game) The npc's have to be coded to say specific things at specific times, the player has to be coded to be able to use certain commands such as "R, R,R" (teleport) etc etc. A dev would have to tell you what language they use and how they use it their self. The most common languages are like what @01101001 said though.

Command blocks ARE used I know this for certain, just look at Craftmas Chaos quest.

 

I believe command blocks are used (This is just 1 example) when you go into the black teleportation things which is probably what you are referring to in that quest.

 

Minecraft is java-only, and though wrappers for certain languages exist, it usually only makes sense to use Java, so that applies to Wynn as well.

Wynncraft uses a combination of what was mentioned; Of course the core is a plugin, responsible for all the items, weapons and the general system including quests.
Command blocks are used for cutscenes and mostly "in-quest" effects, including teleports and of course puzzles.
Recently however the quest system was expanded, and with the use of a script things can be done way more dynamically now. That includes "non-linear" quests (Examples are Hallowynn 2016 & Mixed Feelings) & moving NPCs and a lot more that will be shown soon.

 

"Can". There has to be atleast one part that is java, which is the main class(unless using some kind of magical server). The server only understands the java plug-ins so it can only load them up by "decompiling" (not sure if that is the right word here) jar files in a certain way to access it all. Meaning that it still is mostly a Java plug-in, no matter what you do.

 

All the devs are lying, the server is entirely built on Redstone contraptions

 

actually it's built on automated mob farms sending zombies to certain locations by baiting them with villagers. don't spread such lies in the future.
