I do know java, I have read through most of the official tutorials. When I see something in minecraft like abstract class or inherit Blablabla I know what it means, I have also programmed quite a lot in ahk and done some random java stuff. But modding is something new to me, I mean programming "inside" of another program, wich I am not alowed to edit etc... Thank you, that's something at least, but what if it's something no one has never done? It is clear that you have never really programmed anything else except minecraft before, or minecraft seriously for that matter. But I applaud you that you're willing to take the effort, many "modders" are sadly stuck in the tutorial stage. Finding how to do something, or we can coin the term problem solving, is one of the major parts of writing code. Or rather it is the most important thing ... ... new techniques to you and you'll be far more flexible. This will show in your logical thinking and in your code. And even, in life outside coding(does that even exist?) you'll find applications because if the next time you have an art history exam with a difficult question you'll say: What do I want? What do I need for that? And how will I do it? You'll set your pen on the paper and start writing List<? extends AnswerInMyBrain> Answer = new Answer(); And it'll throw an error... Thank you for your reply I hope I come further with this procedure.

So for instance, I now want to create an always-on-top gui(like the health hearts or hunger bar). And as always, I can't figure out how to do anything unless there is a tutorial for it. Let's say you want to make what I said, how would you find out how to do it?

So, I want to save some per-world stuff into a file, to be able to use it after a restart. I could write it to NBT but(other than having no idea how to do that) creating an own file wich contains all the data of my mod looks better. So my question is: Is there a forge method for that or do I have to do it using java's File-writing and reading stuff? and: How?

Hi, i'm trying to make an area(kindof like the beacon). So when the player is inside he will get bonuses or soemething but that's secondary. How kan i make such area around a block? I made a tileentity and tryed using the AddEffectsToPlayers from TileEntityBeacon but i don't understand the axisaligneddb AABB and such.
