How to start making your own mc mods

I guess there is nothing wrong, I just thought the sudden bombardment of mod threads might annoy some admins, but yeah,You actually don't have to know what certain Java code means to mod, but it REALLY helps in making more advanced mods lol

You DO have to know java to code for this. All modding for MC is written in java.

Have you modded, messed with Java before? If so is it easy for say a "novice" such as myself to do? (lol)

From my experience messing with Java, C++, LUA, and a couple of others, I would say that Java isn't what you'd call easy, but in terms of comparison to other languages it's not that bad.

Basically what it all boils down to is how dedicated you are to learning the craft. People who make games like Notch and Jeb have roughly 15yrs of programming experience that date back to their teenage years. It takes time, studying, and dedication. I highly suggest learning to mod first because it doesn't utilize the whole spectrum like making a game from scratch does. It's easier and helps you familiarize yourself with the lingo associated with programming in Java.
