There are two ways to create

There are two ways to create mods. You can either get a program and create your mod, without coding, or you can code it yourself. I am not a mod maker myself, but my friend has a mod and if you need any assistance I can ask him.

You have to know java to make

You have to know java to make a mod. If you don't, learn it or use a program to make it.

Step 1: Install either

Step 1: Install either Notepad++ or Eclipse. This makes coding 10x easier as it labels each line, and Eclipse even tells you if theres an error in the code somewhere and highlights it. Allows you to save multiple classfiles and other coding files to one area for easy storage.

Step 2: Find a texture artist or someone similar who can create the textures for your mod (if needed)

Step 3: Start small. Forge mods are a good start for new people, and you can usually go to the forge IRC network and ask around there for some help on getting started. (this will require Forge Modloader to be installed for your mods to work ofc)

 

These steps will at least get you started. I had started a mod with one of my buddies a couple months ago (I was the texture artist) called the CCS Mod or Chocolate Covered Strawberries. In a nutshell, just added a variety of new foods to the game, mostly in the form of fruits/deserts. Even a Juicer machine so you could make drinks. Start small like this. Just small additions to the game until you feel comfortable, then go all out with crazy additions and game changing mods.

Hope this helped!
