Getting started with making mods is very hard. You get errors every second. I was not able to set it up with vs code before(I was not getting intellisense). But now, I am getting intellisense in vs code for some reason with only 1 extension pack,before I downloaded every java and minecraft extension. Btw,what is your discord?
