I'm interested in coding plugins specify Bukkit/Spigot.
https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/ < some popular plugins
They're basically codes that customize Minecraft, that's why the game can be customized so much!
You can code anything from Minigames, Chat features, Punishment, Moderator Tools, almost anything you can think of!
