+===== Prerequisites =====
+It's strongly recommended to learn Java before diving into the modding world (especially if you don't have prior programming experience).
+Minecraft, in its codebase, and mods, using Fabric API, use more advanced Java concepts like lambdas, generics and polymorphism.
+If you don't know all of these concepts, you may have some difficulties modding.
+Here are some online resources that will help learning Java.
