Java is used in many games these days. It is a basic language, the only thing simpler I can think of being C. Not C++, Not C#, just C. But back to java. I have been coding in java for about 5 months now, and the main thing I use it for is modding Minecraft. Minecraft can be modded easily because A: Mojang(the games creators) endorse it, and B: it isn't coded that easily. You have probably installed mods before, so you know how to get to the bin folder in the .minecraft folder.

PART I: WHAT YOU WILL NEED

All of these files and programs are easily found on google.

What you will need to download(for any java coding, not just Minecraft):
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers-This is where you will write all of your code. I highly suggest you use this over any other Java coding suite. It has a very easy to use GUI.
Java Developers Kit(JDK)-This is an official program created by Oracle that allows you to code in java.
Java-Do I even need to explain why you will need this?

Now for everything you will need for Minecraft coding:
Minecraft-Self explanatory. Please don't use cracked clients and by the freaking game.
Minecraft Coder Pack(MCP)-Decompiles your Minecraft jar file, as well as recopiles and reobfuscates your client and outputs the mods.
Paint.NET-DON'T USE PAINT!!!!! I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH! USE PAINT.NET SO YOUR TEXTURES LOOK CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will also create a tutorial for the modcreator MCreator if you don't want to learn to code. That is, when it's updated.

PART II: SETTING UP MCP AND DOCOMPILING YOUR MINECRAFT CLIENT
Set-up tutorials(I realize they are old, but it is set up the same way) :

PART III: The Main Menu-Coming soon

I will update this as frequently as I can.

Sick thanks for the post

[Λrceuc]

Thanks! I am currently working on updating my mod to 1.4.2 atm as well as studying.

Sorry for not updating the topic in a while, will do soon. School has been a bitch due to things like all of my theater classes(I go to a performing arts high school, and no it's not like Victorious or Glee.) as well as a shitton of Algebra 2 HW. I hope I can update it within the next few weeks.
