so back when I was an active minecraft user, I tried to learn Javascript using Codecademy.
Almost half way through my training, I realized that Javascript and Java is completely different.
Then I tried to learn Java, but I couldn't find a tutorial like Codecademy, so I gave up.
Now I wan't to learn to mod this game, so I think I need to learn C+? Any good tutorial I can follow?

and how long did it take you to learn to mod this game? (if you have no experience in coding)

You should check out the mod forum, I think this question fits better for the help section there. And no, you don't need to learn C++, I believe you can do a ton of mods in just XML.

Hey thanks, the first link is useful. I am already on Lesson 6.

quick question, do most good modders (like skully) use C#? or just edit xml?

and how much control do you have when editing xml? can you.. let says.. create Seasons? or.. create Relations between pawns? is that possible by just editing xml?
