## What it is
A collection of simple, working example mods demonstrating core Minecraft and Forge modding concepts, organized as independent code samples. It targets Forge 1.16.4 with branches for many earlier versions.

## Use cases
- learn minecraft forge modding
- example code for custom minecraft blocks
- how to write a forge mod in java
- minecraft modding tutorial with working code
- understand minecraft modding concepts
- sample forge mod to adapt and debug

## When to choose
- you learn best from small, working code examples rather than long explanations
- you are starting out with Forge modding on Java
- you want independent examples you can copy and adapt

## When to avoid
- you need examples for Minecraft versions newer than 1.16.4
- you want optimized or production-quality mod code
- you use the Fabric mod loader exclusively

## Facets
