How can I teach myself to program?

I'm currently trying to teach myself programming (Java). I'm currently working on Java because I want to learn how to code plugins (Minecraft) but I can't get on with Youtube. Because of corona, you can't join a course that teaches you that. Does Anyone Know An Effective Way To Teach Themselves To Programming?

There's only one way to learn to program and that is practice practice practice. Programming is a process that you have to internalize and where you have to know what you are doing. There's no easy way to learn.

The most effective method is to simply code yourself. By trying things out and making mistakes. Books and online courses are a helpful support for this.

Maybe this?

Oh, that's in English, I see right now

Start comfortably and keep writing new, more complex programs and that takes a long time. I wouldn't start with plugins yet

I have had good experiences with buying a Udemy course and also (as an extended reference work) the book Java is also an island (for Java 11 (latest LTS version)).
