Is it possible to edit pre existing blocks?

[mono832]

I have an idea for a mod but there aren't many discussions that help with altering pre-existing blocks and items. What is a tutorial you would recommend to help start with forge modding?

That's because overriding any existing block or item will probably break compatibility with any mod in existence, including Vanilla minecraft. You can edit specific behaviors of blocks or items using events or attach custom logic using capabilities, but you should never override a block or item.

I don't have any tutorials, but I typically suggest reading the forge docs or the community wiki and then asking specific questions on the discord server or here on the forums. You are expected to know Java and working on either the latest or LTS version if you want to receive support.
