[Speed Coding #2] - Phantom

I suggest for your next video you look into using polymorphism and inheritance when creating classes. You could create a abstract HardcoreKit class with all the methods most of your classes need (for example onUse), and when you create for example Phantom class, you can make it extend HardcoreKit which handles the registering of the listeners, the special items, etc.

Don't get me wrong, you look like you know what you're doing with the bukkit API and have a good knowledge of java, I'm just trying to push you towards better practices when doing this kind of stuff. Good luck with your coding adventures

 

Is what you just explained there Object Oriented Programming? Or is this something completely different?

Nice job, do kangaroo next?

 

At 3:20 (among a few other places), why are you using Long.valueOf (and longValue() earlier)? As well as doing stuff like 1.0F rather than just 1f (without the decimal and tenths). It was just interesting to see that being used when it's not necessary.

Also, you might want to consider using a few Java 8 functions (particularly lamba expressions). By that I mean rather than doing:
for(Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) player.sendMessage("test");

You can use the more efficient (and better looking):
Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().forEach(player -> player.sendMessage("test"));

Other than that, nice tutorial. You seem to be really interested in programming.

You don't need to stream first to loop through the collection; only if you want to filter, map, collect, etc.
