[1.20.4] Best resources for learning Forge

[Hastur]

I am very new to modding and i am trying to found out the best places to look to found out how Forge works

I have been able to add a couple of Items and blocks to the game, but now I that actually want to add these to the world generation i've hit a roadblock and am finding the documentation very unhelpful

Are there any classes in the forge/minecraft packages i should read and understand before going any further

no. world generation is now done through resources (json files). good news: modpack makers can change most things; bad news: it's a nightmare for devs and you picked a horible task for an inexperienced modder.

i'd switch to another plan if you have plans for multiple mods. if you must go forth, check out mcjty on youtube. there are online generators for worldgen jsons, use those (after you go through a tutorial).

Thanks for you response, using a JSON generator i was able to get it working. I think for now i will take a step back, watch mcjty and do some smaller things
