Hi guys, i started recently programming in java. I cannot create big application but i'm confindent in creating little one. Since everyone says that to make mods in minecraft you don't need much programming knowledge i've tried to start making minecraft mods. The problem is that every tutorial that i find online takes everything for sure and do not guide me through the process. I don't want just to copy and paste lines of code but i want to understand them. Everyone online just mention a forge method without explaining it and everyone just tell you how to make blocks, items and materials. What if i want to make a complex sorting system or if a want to make mobs with artificial intelligence or stuff like that. Do I just have to go through all of that boring forge documentation to get something started ? Thanks a lot -DJackR
