Posted January 13, 20196 yr I know everyone else on here has their own life and their own stuff to do so I dont want to constantly ask really basic questions all the time so instead what are some good resources for someone trying to learn the programming language to use it for modding in minecraft? I've found some tutorials already but they do not go very in depth and I was just wondering if there were any good sources to learn this kind of stuff from.
January 13, 20196 yr Try looking at this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22739920/where-to-start-with-creating-minecraft-client-mods Hope this helped!!
January 14, 20196 yr I learned Modding and Java almost entirely through trial & error and watching bad YouTube tutorials, so it is possible to just jump right in the deep end and start making mods. I did have prior programming experience (JavaScript, PHP, HTML, etc.) though, and learning Java was still an extremely big learning curve. You should definitely familiarise yourself with the language and read LOTS of Java tutorials. Once you’ve done this I reccomend creating a GitHub account, downloading GitHub Desktop or another git client, going to https://github.com/Cadiboo/Example-Mod and and cloning/forking/downloading the repository. Once you have done this, follow the setup instructions and start Modding! There are lots of good resources in the README of that repository that you should read. Disclaimer: this is a repo that I set up for this situation, if you have problems feel free to contact me. I check these forums semi-regularly, but if you want to talk to me fast you can add me as Cadiboo#8887 on Discord.

January 14, 20196 yr Most of the best resources are listed on Cadiboo's page. Some more resources: MinecraftByExample Shadowfacts Tutorials (for 1.10.2 but largely applicable to 1.12.2) Jabelar's Tutorials
January 14, 20196 yr For learning Java, I used Codecademy, but there are literally hundreds of places you can go to learn, not least of which is Oracle's docs. Edited January 14, 20196 yr by Daeruin
January 14, 20196 yr Also familiarize yourself with Minecraft's existing mechanics. Not just what it does, but how it does it. Many of the "I want X but Y" questions can be answered just by cribbing from vanilla. Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
