Posted November 20, 20186 yr Hey There, I have dabbled a little bit in code, but not a ton. What has been a growing thought on my mind is how advanced mod creators learned the things they learned. Sure we get some tutorials, but they don't cover advanced nitty gritty things and aren't very wide in variety. Do you guys know of anything?

VANILLA MINECRAFT CLASSES ARE THE BEST RESOURCES WHEN MODDING I will be posting 1.15.2 modding tutorials on this channel. If you want to be notified of it do the normal YouTube stuff like subscribing, ect. Forge and vanilla BlockState generator.
November 21, 20186 yr Author I know, believe me but how did they learn all the machine stuff and stuff that minecraft doesn't have or any tutorials? They had to have learned from somewhere...

November 21, 20186 yr Quite a lot of mods are visible source on GitHub including TinkersConstruct, Applied Energistics and Mekanism that are great for reference.

There have been many instances where I have tried to learn something on my own but I have not had a solid goal in mind. However, in this entire (nearly) year, I have learned 200% the amount of stuff I learned in the ~3 years prior. And no, that isn't entirely an exaggeration. I am just as shocked as you all will be at the sheer volume of stuff I have learned. But that is the effect that having concrete goals and sources of Domain Knowledge can (and will) have on your learning. Clear Aspirations just help you along in order to keep focused rather than fall into a Rabbit Hole (genuine technical term) and not make much progress. In terms of resources, you have these forums (for Domain Knowledge regarding Minecraft Forge), r/learnjava (for Domain Knowledge regarding Java) and you have so many sources of goals. Go ahead and try re-creating existing mods. If you spend an entire day struggling to figure out how to implement a specific piece of functionality for a mod, that's an indicator that you should leave it until you have more experience. All in all, if you have the determination to learn, there are plenty of resources out there on the internet. You only need to fire up Google and search for those resources. I love solving puzzles and also coding. What a great combo! I also want to have a career in programming when I have gone through university. 9GAG and Quora stand in the way of me ascending from mediocre programmer to ...meh programmer and beyond! I am always looking for fun projects to look at and maybe be a part of. If you have a project and want to co-operate, email me via [email protected] Keep coding
