Beginner modder, need some help =)

[TheiTay]

Hello, my name is Itay. Sorry for my English 

My school project requires me to develop a minecraft mod.

 

I didn't play minecraft a lot (I guess that total of 5-10 hours), I understand most of the physics and logics of the game but now I want to develop a mod to it 

 

My project is a bit complicated, but before I can jump into the deep water my teacher gave me a few tasks.

I've seen that most of the tutorials are more about creating new items to the game, I need to do something different. I want to "find out" information about the world. For this type of mods I couldn't find any documentation...

 

My first task was to find out about the block that I'm pointing to, by finding out I mean coordinates, and block type.

If there is any tutorial that could help me in this task, I'll be glad to hear about it.

 

Thanks.
