Like the title says, I’m totally new to Minecraft (watching Minecraft lp’s aside), got a couple of questions. I did at least figure out that I should get Java edition (right?).

I surely would like to install some mods, like shaders etc. First off, is there a “best” site out there for minecraft mods? Secondly, how to install mods. I read something about a loader or launcher?

I guess that’s kinda it for now.

Sorry but this is the wrong forum. We support the MakeCode for Minecraft code editor [https://minecraft.makecode.com/](https://minecraft.makecode.com/) . Java-based mods will be found elsewhere on the web. Good luck!
