It would be pre-built worlds that you would have to download (But you can use mods to store, and automatically port in your worlds folder) and then using modded items, blocks, and a special little block I've got planned out to make the "Story-mode" of sorts a reality.

I mean more in the sense that how are you going to check that they are running the correct world. For instance, if we take HalfLife 2 start, when you step off the train, how are you going to check the have the train exit map loaded? If you run off world names, the user may have a world with the same name, for instance.
You would also have the problem of other mods interfering with your [Half Life] mod. If I was to install a minimap mod and for some reason teleport to a waypoint, how would your code detect they have skipped forward and the mod wouldn't have certain variables with values for instance.
Taking a leaf out of HalfLifes book, they have each area as a separate level/world, setting the user data as they get there. However, if you were to do this with client side mods, this would not be possible as there could be human error or files not existing, or again mod corruption or editing.

In conclusion, I don't believe that a client-side mod would be the best way to do this project; as there is more complications and things the user has to set up and deal with. To optimise the community take a popularity, would it not be a better idea to have it server side, put custom texturepacks on the user through a packet, as then you can have multiple worlds, a way to prevent cheating and the option to change things around after release?

Your idea is great, sure, but I think there are ways that you could make it so the user doesn't need mods and can have just as much fun.

If you want to code it server side, I have a *very* high amount of server-side spigot / NMS development experience, and could probably help you out

And what versions will the mod be on?1.10? 1.11? Maybe 1.7.10?

Age( No restrictions, be honest): 14 . . . Pretty sure; but I could be wrong as I often forget my age.
Portoflio : I'm not sure what a portfolio is, but I've helped another person with 2 mods; Kaizo and Decus mod.

Why you think YOU deserve to be chosen (Minimum of one paragraph) :
Personally, I think the entire idea of 'deserving' is rather ludicrous and overly sentimental. Things don't happen because one has done the certain deeds required to get it. I think I am decent at some parts of texturing. Granted I do not think I'd qualify however, as you've already told someone 'no' since he was 'witty'. That sentence right there has thus spelled my doom, and while I may be genuinely interested in the project I have thus doomed myself to bring about my point in the form of satire. Plus, seeing as to how you aren't getting many responses, I'll probably be higher on the list than the other guy. Also, I think it is rather silly to require a single paragraph in a time when our attention spans last for half a milisecond.
What will you bring to the mod? (Minimum of one paragraph) :
I will bring my 'skill', if you can call it that. I'm not THE best at pixel art, but I can do a thing or two. Actually just one thing, not two. I can sort of model . . . as in I made a birdie. I am also good at making overly complicated storylines with a purpose; though I'm not sure if that would help, as most of mods with 'storylines' are simply half-baked mindless cliched piles of garbage.
Whats your expertise?
Texturing; although I wouldn't quite say 'expertise'. I'm also not half-bad at idea generating and modelling.

What content can we expect form the mod? Any specific weapons, blocks, etc?

Is this client side or server side? If it's client side, then how do you plan to implement the ability to start and stop a game without effecting the user's other worlds? I've done similar before but I decided to write it for Spigot inside a server, then disable chat and hide all other online players. That way I could create the game with save points, enemies etc, and the user could join with no mods.

I cba to write an application and i dont care if i get denied because I'm just gonna state what I have, its more worth my while:

I dont need to tell you my name under data protection acts in place.
A portfolio is not required in this circumstance.
My discord ID is ItsNotThatKDZ#4768
I am not required to state why I deserve to be chosen as the mod has no current community value.
I can do textures, that is all.
Texturing.
