I'm trying to learn on how to make Minecraft Pocket Edition mods on my Kindle Fire, but I am having a really hard time finding anything that is up to date, and helpful.
Does anyone have tips for a extreme coding noob (going into it sort of blindly, and I've only learned a bit of .bat coding and .html), and how or where I can find tutorials/help/anything?
Hello! Modpe scripts (use Blocklauncher) are written in Javascript. You said you have had some experience with HTML. Javascript is used in HTML so it might be a next step if you want to learn web development. If you understand the syntax (programming grammar) of javascript you can write some mods in an app called Modpe IDE. It lists the API (different things you can do) and also is a code editor. You are on a kindle so you can't access the google play store and it's not on Amazon so I would recommend finding the apk (package that you install the app with) on some other source but be careful where you download it from. Maybe this site but be careful.
If you don't want to download the app you can use a text editor and file explorer (I use es file explorer). This however requires some more experience. I had the same problem as you until I found the Modpe IDE and I would recommend it for development. If you just want the API there is a github source with explanations and lists different parts of what you can do.
If you mean real mods (block launcher addons), these are called native mods and are painful(in my opinion). This requires a strong knowledge of C/C++ language as well as the substrate API by cydia. There is also setting everything up and very little guides to making them. I have not been able to find any good sources for native mods and they are more advanced. I would stick with the Modpe as it is easier and less of a learning curve. I hope you can find your way!!
As for seeing them used you can google modpe scripts or there are apps which catalog scripts and allow you to download them. An app that I just found on Amazon looks like it should work. This is an outdated app that I have had some experience with. You can still look at the code though.
The basic idea is to choose a hook function that is called when something in the app is done (place a block, kill something, etc..). Check the API for the hooks. Then there are the different functions that do stuff in the game(give items, spawn something, place block, etc..) check the API for those.
Hope this is enough (maybe too much XD) information to help you get started. Good luck!!!

-Thanks.
I recommend downloading a few simple mods and see how they are written and this website to see how they are used:

At least thats how I learnt coding.
