Ello! I'm iSteev: web developer, web designer, and newbie Minecraft modder. Woah... My first thoughts when I started on my first mod yesterday was only of confusion, anger, and sudden impulses to listen to EDM. After watching what was over three or four hours of tutorials, and entire websites of instructions, I'm finally getting somewhere. So for those also new to the world of modding, here's some tips and links to get you started:

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Mods/Creating_Mods- Start here
TIP: Start with Forge and not ModLoader. It's going to take your longer to learn, but has many more options.
http://www.pagetutor.com/common/bgcolors1536.html- Useful for getting colors for spawn eggs (just put "0x" before the color)
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Minecraft_Wiki- You've probably visited MCW dozens of times before, but I just thought I would mention it (it's my most used help site for modding)
http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Tutorials- Can't read enough of these bad boys
http://www.youtube.com/user/TheGrovesyProject101- Awesome tutorials by a Forge expert
http://techne.zeux.me/Techne- So you don't need to hand-code the mob models
http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Icons_and_Textures#What_about_GUIs.2Fcustom_rendering.3F- Use this format for texturing mobs
TIP: There will most likely be errors when you export Techne into Minecraft. Don't worry. This is normal, and most can be fixed with hovering over the error and importing the requires.
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1281544-how-do-i-get-my-mobs-legs-to-move/- Allow your mobs's legs to move
http://www.showmycode.com/- Decompile classes in your browser! Awesome if you did not back up your project, and lost the source code
http://www.youtube.com/user/wuppygaming- More awesome modding tutorials

Sorry... Not really. The only bit is this short notation off the Forge wiki. Besides that, I don't really know of any. :(

Karolakkolo123 is correct, Modmaking programs can only get you as far as making a jukebox textured like a diamond block. And would you want that? Of course not, Before trying anything else I recommended learning Java which minecraft was made in. If you learn that it should be much easier

YOU ARE USING MODMAKER PROGRAMS!!! IT would be better to learn JavaScript language, learn how to make modfiles with JavaScript Code, so you can make better things, on normal modmaker programs you can't do 75% of things, that are in 29% of minecraft's mods. By code you can make GUI blocks like crafting table, and other impossible things like new dimensions which you can't accomplish using any modmaking program. It is better to learn Java Language, and Code the mod. Do you know maybe airplanes mod, or GLSLShaders mod or Optifine??? All of features they have you can't accomplish woth any modmaking program. Mod authors of this mods was just coding. I know you are begginer, but it would be better to learn JavaScript Scripting Language, and code impossible things to make your mods popular.
