Well, I finally got around to making a mod, and surprisingly, I'm pretty pleased with the End Result. I've been accumulating plenty of ideas these past few years, so I wanted to start with something that would necessitate a fair bit of different skills. After a little over a week, I wound up with something I'm actually pretty proud of!
For me, the biggest hurtle to coding has always been the language itself, rather than the approach to problem solving- thus, to my surprise, once I learned the basics of scratch, (please don't laugh), things went relatively smoothly. By the end of it, I was able to do relatively complicated functions without too much hassle- the end result was a mod including new plants, trees, foods, a nutrition system, and an astonishingly difficult-to-program achievement that requires murdering the Ender Dragon using a hunk of cheese.
...To make a long story short, for all its issues, if you want to get into modding, I highly recommend taking Mcreator for a spin. It's fairly user friendly, and the perfect thing for beginners with a vague idea of how any of this actually works. (Also, if you want to try the cooking mod I came up with, check out this Curseforge link.)
