Creating Tile Entities in 1.16

[Unkn0wn4all]

I'm new to modding and have never done modding in anything and don't know java and all the tutorials on Youtube and everywhere I could find online are outdated or incomplete and I was left at a tutorial not knowing how to make a custom furnace I wanted to, does anyone have a complete and easy tutorial for modding in 1.16.1 that's free?

first: search for Java tutorials, there are PLENTY of really good and free information on Java programming online. it will be really hard to make your own mods withouth proper knowledge of programming. learn Java, and learn Object Oriented Programming.

second: funny enough I can recommend you the same videos I started out watching for modding: the ones by silentChaos512 on youtube, very recently he released a video on Tile Entities

third: you won't find tutorials for absolutely everything that you may need, sadly. there are some tutorials out there for the basics, but that very often isn't all you'll want to know. the best way is to look at the vanilla code itself, look at other mods code, or ask for help (for specific stuff) in the forums

here is a really good youtube video on Java programming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoXwIVyNvX0

also, take a look at the official forge documentation: https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

and there's also the community documentation: https://forge.gemwire.uk/wiki/Main_Page
