For developers
Quite often, when I start learning programming on a new platform, I find even the simplest examples too complicated. Tutorials, written by experts, with years of experience programming on that platform, sometimes forget how difficult those first step are. This is why I decided to make my first, very simple, Minecraft mods publicly available.
