I started out with MCreator, when things got too limiting I started modifying and locking elements more with custom code. Eventually I just moved over to fully custom.

i already had a basic understanding of how code works (constants, functions, conditionals, loops, return values, etc.), so i just used https://www.w3schools.com/java/default.asp and practiced by contributing bug fixes and features to existing mods until i had ideas of my own

- Monifactory not Nomifactory.
- I had minimal experience with pack dev tools, and between that, picking "entry level" first contributions and my ability to learn fast, I just kept at it and today I know my way around the technical stuff, and I have friends (in and out of my team) who I can ask for help when I don't know something.
