Im not sure if a thread like this has been created before but if it has let me know and i will delete this one.
This thread will contain VERY VERY commonly asked questions about modding. If you would like to add your own question leave a reply down below!
Can i add mobs to my game
No, it is currently impossible to add any new kind of mob into your game. The coding for the game on the IOS is not the same as the one on the PC/Mac/Linux/ However it is easily possible to retexture a mob but replacing one of the files within your game.
Can i change crafting recipes
Yes, it is possible to change crafting recipes within your game. However, this is a very complicated process and if your new to coding I don't recomend that you try this.
There is a PC mod can i put it on my Minecraft P
No, as I just said in the first question IOS Code is different to the PC/Mac/Linux Code. This is also the same with android code it is not the same as the code used in PC/Mac/Linux
You should probably add "Modding" somewhere in your title, or else it ends up looking exactly like this thread from just looking at the name.
Okay, here's my actual question: Is modding illegal? I'm pretty sure it isn't, especially since there's an official forum for it, but for some reason one of my relatives who is fairly adept at coding says that he won't make mods because it is against the law.

I think I read something about PE not being able to advance in modding due to terms of service or something like that.

I'm not exactly sure about PE, but I do know that the Mojang team is open to mods for both Desktop edition and Pi edition as long as they are distributed as patches.
Desktop edition: http://minecraft.net/terms
If you've bought the game, you may play around with it and modify it. We'd appreciate it if you didn't use this for griefing, though, and remember not to distribute the changed versions of our software. Basically, mods (or plugins, or tools) are cool (you can distribute those), hacked versions of the Minecraft client or server are not (you can't distribute those).
Any tools you write for the game from scratch belongs to you. ... Plugins for the game also belong to you and you can do whatever you want with them, as long as you don't sell them for money. We reserve the final say regarding what constitutes a tool/plugin and what doesn't.
(I didn't see that clause before - all my patches are free anyways, though)
Snowbound:
@danfrisk I'm curious, will you allow the community to distribute mods to the Pi client in PTPatch format? Doesnt specify it in the license.
DanFrisk:
@joshhuelsman the patch can't contain data from the distributed binaries, otherwise perfectly fine.
On the Pi platform, the situation is similar to iOS and Android modding in that we cannot decompile but can only disassemble and make patches, so I think this means that Mojang is OK with patches.
