Getting started with a mod...
Hiya! I'm going to start a journey on modding. Here are plans for mods I'd like to make:
-A vehicle mod
-A mod that adds animals, ambient and water mobs
-A mod that adds monsters
And eventually I will put them all together in a huge pack.
I have already done a few models on Techne and I know how to texture, but here's what I need to find out how to use: MCP (MineCraft Coder Pack)... Anyone know how to install it, and will I be able to import my models into that program?
If none of you know how to use MCP or have a preferred program for beginners, please let me know right away! Thanks!

Yes, you definitely want to learn Java programming first. Also, you can use Techne models with Forge, or any mod loading framework.
Strange, it looks like my comment was removed/didn't post...
I agree with Teotoo, Learning Java will definitely help you when modding, and there are plently of tutorials online. Minecraft coder's pack isn't a program, but more of an aid to help you while you mod Minecraft, decompiling source code, naming it and even recompiling and letting you test it, However you cannot just import Techne models with it. Techne is a modeler that generates Minecraft-ready Java code from the models you create, but you still have to code A.I. and other features into your mod with Java. Forge and Modloader make it slightly easier to mod, and allow mods to be compatible with each other. They still allow you to use Techne models, but you still have to code A.I. and other things just like before. I recommend starting with Modloader as it is the easier of the two A.P.I's to begin with.

Hmm.. good thinking, and AI is what I need to code, so I am needing to learn that. I think I'll learn Java beforehand. Thanks.
I'd recommend using Forge instead of the plain MCP. Forge gives you a lot more tools and makes many modding tasks much easier.
Yes! I use MineCraft Forge for current mods I like such as PortalGun and Flans.
Where can I find that, and can I use Techne with it?
Thanks!

Adding extra GUI's plus tools and weapons is always a good idea.
