New to the entire minecraft modding scene

[Madduck4]

Hello everyone,

As the title suggests I'm new the the entire modding thing I used to make little game projects here and there and since I've started University I've taking Java and I fell in love with it somehow.

So I have a couple of questions:

1. Can I learn Java from modding the game (Yes I have the basics) can it expand my knowledge in this language?
2. Does modding require massive teams (I've seen too many projects on curseforge that have like 3-6 contributors) or can I do it solo?
3. Where to start?

I know you might be thinking "Whats wrong with this guy just simply google what to do..." and for that I say "I did" and found too many results not saying its a bad thing just you know we have a common term in development in general and that's "Development hell" you guys are more experienced than I'm what tutorial series do you recommend?

Why didn't I use Reddit for this question why the minecraftforge forums where we fix issues to modding not help beginners start?  Because it gave me mental issues not saying this for attention but I really dislike the communities there are helpful somewhat but everything I said there regardless of what it is even a simple question in development will be bombarded with hateful comments cruelty and bullying and even worse grammar police , I truly hope that you guys aren't like this...

 

Please forgive me for my English as I'm not an English speaker. I'm alright with you people criticizing me for the question or the stuff I said just don't be cruel , thanks in advance!
