Hello I would try to start Modding in Minecraft. Have you any advice or good tutorial for beginning ?
And one day maybe you'll need that to inject code into specific location, but it's to do advanced things: https://github.com/SpongePowered/Mixin/wiki

Can someone with an coding brain tell me where the problem is? i dont even have a mod named "spongepowered"
SpongePowered isn't a Mod, they're the group that maintain the Framework for Mixins. The next mod in the stacktrace is cpw.mods.modlauncher

MineFortress beta is here! More professions, custom buildings, combats and some other things that I worked on during the past months! Let me know what do you think
That source was probably outdated. Forge didn't natively allow you to do that. You could do Java voodoo to allow a library that implemented(? Not sure if it implemented the feature or simply allowed it to be used in a specific way) Mixins, those allow you to modify the game's bytecode. Modern Forge has that library natively.

Scratch Is a Big Deal
These days Mojang provides obfuscation maps, so you can work with proper class and method names (though no parameter or local variable names). There's also been a lot of effort been put into the tooling. Nowadays there exists Gradle plugins that will download the game jar, decompile it and deobfuscate it using the official mappings. You develop against the deobfuscated code, then the plugin will turn the unobfuscated names back into their obfuscated versions when you compile. There's also been technology developed that lets you easily modify specific parts of a method in the game, so you can e.g. insert calls to your own functions at runtime.[1] This saves from you having to modify the game jar itself.

New open source Java decompiler
quilt (and fabric) take mojang's jar and preprocess it similarly, but the rest of the modifications to the code are done at runtime using a ridiculously powerful instrumenting classloader. the game is not decompiled at all, other than giving you something to look at in the IDE.

Questions on Coremods
If you can't use the API, I suggest you to use Mixins or really asking yourself if your idea should worth the instability/effort of creating a coremod.

New open source Java decompiler
I'd also like to thank the MinecraftForge Team for creating ForgeFlower, the fork that QuiltFlower was based on, and Lee Benfield for creating CFR and it's truly incredible test suite.
What are some alternatives?
