Learning how to google is a good first step. Everything after that is simply looking at documentation and google questions.

TutorialsPoint is a good place to learn a lot of fundamental components of any programming language. However to stay consistent with standards you most likely want to reference Oracle as well: https://docs.oracle....java/index.html

Stay away from shitty pajeet-tier youtube tutorials. All of them are made my some indian who you can't understand.

Stay away from learning it through Minecraft plugin creation. That's a super-specific API you're using, and although you'll maybe learn about the absolute fundamentals (loops, conditionals, variables, etc.) you won't learn anything about making your own java programs.

Stay away from 99% of Udemy courses. Most of them are, again, by some indian bombay microsoft tech support worker who doesn't actually know what he's doing.

 

The only good way to learn is by reading the official Oracle docs about the Java core libraries, like Java.nio, java.io, etc. Read more here.

 

The thing is, it's super hard to learn just from documentation if you have no programming experience. Like, incredibly. There are a few places to start looking if you want to seriously start learning. I bought the Java Humble Bundle a while back (maybe a month or so) and it's proven to be super useful since it has beginner, intermediate and advanced courses/books alike, so I can upload that if you'd like. But there are tons of books out there if reading is your style. O'Reilly books are among the most respected computer books out there, Packt and Weily right after. They all offer some sort of Java beginner material, so that's a good place to start.

 

As far as videos go, one of the courses in the Humble Bundle I mentioned was a video download made for beginners, and it was a little easy but covers most fundamental features (switches/conditionals, vars, some extra library functionality, GUIs, etc.) and the exercises/homework it gave was pretty simple too, so you didn't break your back trying to come up with fancy solutions (like the K&R C book) but there really aren't many places that you can rely on stuff like that, since most youtube tutorials and stuff are all "learn by watching me code" instead of "learn by watching me code AND learn by solving problems I give you."
