This project tutorial comes from that curiosity. Instead of just playing Minecraft, we are going to extend it by writing our own Java code and create a working Minecraft mod. If you have ever wanted to understand how mods work under the hood or take your first step into game modding, this is the place to start.

The **Forge MDK** is the official starter kit you use when you want to build a Minecraft mod using the Forge mod loader—especially in Java. Think of the it as a pre-configured project template for modding Minecraft. The name MDK, which stands for Mod Development Kit, came from the SDK, which came from Software Developer Kit (i.e. Android SDK, iOS SDK, Unity SDK, Unreal SDK, Windows SDK, PlayStation SDK).
