Although I am somewhat familiar with the Java language, I am a fairly new programmer so although it may seem obvious to many more experienced people for me this is not so clear.
I am just starting to get into modding Minecraft, and am kind of at a loss here.
I want to create a basic mod to begin with but don't really understand how to structure this or any other mod.
Essentially what goes where. What parts of the code to separate from what and why.

For reference I have just created a project in my IDE (IntelliJ IDEA) using the Minecraft Development plugin, and am pretty lost on the file structure and where I create what.
I know in the documentation there is a section called "Structuring your Mod", but that is somewhat confusing to me and I don't really think what I'm looking for?
 

Sorry if this is a really noob question, but well that's what I am in this instance.
Hope someone can help 🙂

As this is a Java question and not related to Forge, we would normally not provide help and tell you to learn Java. However, as this question pertains more to organization, I will provide you an answer. Essentially, structure the mod packages as you see fit, same way as you would any Java jar. It is purely a user standard. There are certain files you should keep separate due to sidedness, but that is documented.

      [1.21.x] Setting block tool

      By LogixTheDev · Posted

      Looks like I've figured it out, after entirely too much time wasted on trial-and-error.   The solution was to create /resources/data/minecraft/ and place the tags under there, rather than the mod's data directory. I also needed to add  "replace": false, to the JSON files under /resources/data/minecraft/tags/block/ -> needs_stone_tool.json and mineable/pickaxe.json.   I cannot overstate how dumb this is. I don't think developers should be needing to create additive Minecraft subdirectories for files that belong to a mod. These properties should belong to the block properties anyway, since we're specifying that a tool is required... we should be specifying what that tool is in the same place. (I'm so glad I came back to this mess!) Anyway, it is fixed. Hopefully this helps some poor unsuspecting newbie somewhere down the road.

      Site registration security check is broken!

      By LogixTheDev · Posted

      Upon registering a new account on here, there's a simple security question. Something along the lines of "name a tool you can craft in vanilla Minecraft" and "name a weapon you can craft in vanilla Minecraft". I answered these with answers that are correct. Yet I'm told I "didn't pass the security check". This happens with every answer to every question. If you can't craft a pickaxe, or use a sword as a weapon in vanilla Minecraft then you and I must be playing a totally different game!!

      [1.21.x] Setting block tool

      By LogixTheDev · Posted

      Hello, and happy new year! I've returned to modding while on break from work, and cannot make heads or tails of the method for setting the correct tool for breaking a custom block. This should be a simple affair, but after digging through the vanilla files, all I could find was  assets/data/minecraft/tags/block/mineable/pickaxe.json (and axe, hoe, shovel). So I figured this must be how they're specifying the tool for each block. Yet, after implementing a similar file in my own data folder, it still doesn't work. Plus, this doesn't address the issue of specifying what level of tool is required (wood/stone/iron, etc).   So, please... how should this be being done, properly? And could it be done through the Java code rather than JSON files, without overriding functions for block breaking? I'm either missing something obvious, or -- as is more likely the case -- this is just far more convoluted than it ought to be, for something that should just be a field or two in the Block Properties.
