I've been learning Java for a while and I've been thinking about challenging myself by making mods for Minecraft or other games coded on Java. How much experience is recommended before I attempt this?

There's a program to make mods for Minecraft without any code whatsoever called MCreator.

As for actually coding them everything I've read (a site i cannot link) you just need to learn the basics of Java and Object Oriented Programming.

all in all you need to get familiar with java tooling like maven for making mods, rather than just the java language. and it takes like 2 hours to get the sources for Minecraft so you can mod it sucks

It's better to write mods for a specific mod loader.

MCreator is a good tool, but the java code that it creates is poorly formatted and breaks a lot. im learning how to properly code so i mod java games, its much freer.
