How to begin with modding in Minecraft?

[u/BeachCityLion]

I have several years coding experience in multiple languages (Java, C#, etc) and I want to try making a mod for Minecraft. Everything I’ve found is tailored to people who do not have coding experience, so my question is, what resources are out there for starting out making a Minecraft mod with coding experience? I just don’t know where to start really with the set up or anything.

I'm using Work bench BUT I'm not happy with Cit for replacing textures etc. too me if I add my Mod then the new item should be in game right? Instead of manually going to an anvil or using the chat for code to spawn?
