One word: 'Java'
Note: This is directed mostly to people that happen to stumble across the thread, as I did, and were wondering the same question. The author of the replied to an earlier comment, addressing what I had pretty much summed up, but, I might as well.
Learning java may not only greatly benefit you in creating mods, but develop into a possible asset in later life, as a personal attribute, profiting you by your knowledge of the language.
If you were not to, and expected to learn through youtube videos, most tutorials would not explain the code fully, and, as a result, the modder may not be aware of their actions, and will be forced to rely on those for the basics, such as updating, blocks, and furnaces. Depending on the person, over time you may learn, but your knowledge would be limited exclusively only to minecraft. if you were to grow tired of modding, and wished to expand onto larger projects. Your options would be extremely confined, likewise with your wisdom of the language.

Real programmers would look at the wiki and documentation as well as figure things
out themselves, not copy and paste from a YouTube video.
/rant, sorry
This guy..... This guy, he knows what he is talking about xD
it depends on how old you are, if you're under 16, this won't last, you'll start learning java, then you'll get bored. if you want to learn to mod, you have to see it through to the end. and it takes time, and lots of it. check your pm's i messaged you.
Information about how to make a mod in minecraft -> youtube.
Information about learning java -> youtube.
Information about how to make plugins for minecraft -> youtube.
Always look it up on youtube first! Those people are making videos/tutorials to help you, instead of you having to ask around PMC or some other website, where you will probably not get an answer since noone will take the time to explain everything about MCP and all the other Forge stuff.

Most modding tutorials on YouTube will simply show you all the code to write/memorize
for basic things in a mod (blocks/items etc) and not explain that you should learn Java. This results in horrible mods
and the "modders" not understanding what they're doing, not knowing how to update
without watching a YouTube video on updating, not being able to try new things or
make anything advanced etc. Modding tutorials are absolutely horrible.

Ex of main mod class:
@Mod(modid = Reference.MODID, version = Reference.VERSION, name = Reference.NAME)
public class Modname{
@Instance(Reference.MODID)
public static Modname instance;
@SidedProxy(clientSide = "<package>.ClientProxy", serverSide = "<package>.CommonProxy")
public static CommonProxy proxy;
@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
proxy.renderInformation();
}
@Mod(modid = Reference.MODID, version = Reference.VERSION, name = Reference.NAME)
public class Modname{
@Instance(Reference.MODID)
public static Modname instance;
@SidedProxy(clientSide = "<package>.ClientProxy", serverSide = "<package>.CommonProxy")
public static CommonProxy proxy;
@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
proxy.renderInformation();
}
The first step is to learn Java. No way around it.
