So my dad loves this game and for his birthday, he asked if I could to try to mod his server for him and his friend, I have never done this before, and he's giving me like some apps and videos and discords to go to and login on, to learn. I have basic knowledge of Java and Python, and I'm working with HTTPS right now as well, along with dabbles in other languages such as JavaScript, Lua, C++, etc.
Questions:
1. How hard is it?
2. How hard is it to code some mods?
3. How hard is it to implement mods into the game?
4. Do I actually need to know a lot about code to implement mods if it's basically already made for me?
5. What type of code do I need to know?
Again, this is for my dad's birthday and stuff and he said he would pay me so any advice/tips or anything is welcome
I have no idea what I'm doing so sorry if this sounds dumb, I haven't done any prior research myself because I just got grounded and I am using my school computer to write this, and all the sites my dad sent me are blocked and I just want to know what I'm getting myself into
If this isn't the right place to be asking these questions, I would like to know where to go when I have questions.
Thank you.
Edit: He plays on xbox if that makes any difference I'd still do the coding stuff on my laptop ofc
