i want to learn coding to, and i found this website:

Im not a good modder, all i can tell you is...learn java. Yes, that means spending at least 100 hours learning code, because otherwise you will never understand what the hell is going on. Then you have to learn about Minecraft itself, how it is coded. That means spending many an hour reading code. And you cant just read it, anyone can read code, you have to understand what the code is doing and why. Then, you have to know how to alter the code to make it do what you want, depending on what that is, it could take anywhere from hours to months. Making mods is not an easy task, one that should not be confronted alone.
