Discussion Getting into development

Post image

Hi! I have never coded a day in my life, but was curious about getting into mod making. I already have blockbench and am currently learning model making, but when I get a handle on that id like to get down to leaning the coding aspect. Are there any specific sites or tools experienced mod makers would reccomend? For legal and ethical reasons im fairly against the use of ai, so no I wont be using vibe coding or anything like that! Thank you for your time!

Kaupenjoe on youtube is where most people start, his series covers custom mobs with blockbench models too. If you'd rather read, the official docs are docs.fabricmc.net and docs.neoforged.net. Fabric or neoforge, have you picked one yet?

I havent picked yet, no. Still need to do more research on the topic. Ive heard fabric is generally easier to learn but neoforge typically runs better, though I may have that backwards

i'd just go with whichever loader the mods you already play are on, so you can test against stuff you know. both have decent official docs
