Start with some YouTube tutorials there was a really good one, I'll try find it now for you. The thing about coding is once you get the hang of the basics, the rest of it just gets easier to learn and the only thing that ever seems to slow you down is never a big issue, but a small one that will have the easiest result but will take hours to find. (From my experience anyway)

Thanks guys! I know this is nothing similar but I understand the physics of coding
I took Computer Programming 1-3 at my school, but it was in Visual Basic.... I get what Integers are and variables, basic declarations. but thank you so much!

Visual Basic is the perfect language to start on, I was 14 when I started (19 years old now).
When you learn the properties and use of programming, you can apply the correct syntax to any language and learn it in no time. Java is also a very nice language to start with, understandable syntax, tells you exactly where the error lays (eclipse editor).

And no, JavaScript and Java aren't two completely different things. One is applied to the webclients and another is application. Very similar languages.

PMC is the latest go-to ask-questions-and-receive-answers type of website, nowadays. Anything can happen - there have been stuff involving romance and real-life things. Not everything has to be related to Minecraft.

For basics in syntax and method structure, I would recommend downloading greenfoot and looking at some tutorials. You can learn a lot from coding games, the object orientation is really clear when you have objects on a screen.

Starting to code isn't the easiest thing ever, but for coding I would reccommend learning stuff like this:

int y = 5;
y = y + 5;

(Now y is equal to 10! :O)

And then eventually on to stuff like this:

public static int add(int arg0, int arg1) {

return arg0 + arg1;

}

But, I recommend starting here:

Even though I am still learning Java, that's where I learn now. One last word: Learning Java isn't going to happen within a month. It'll take longer, but, I've only came 3 months into it and I still need to learn more. But, make mods and plugins. They will help you learn and test your skills. Have fun in the journey!

I would recommend TheChernoProject (might be Chernos, I'm not sure) he has detailed lessons on making a game, and he explains everything,
