Is there a guide for json and Coding for people like me who doesn’t have any prior knowledge of coding? I want to make my own mods or at least edit some pre existing files of the game but i don’t know anything about json or coding.

Feel free to ask questions after reading the Guide for New Contributors. I wrote it to the best of my ability which isn’t the same as the best possible writing, and I’m happy to expand on the bits that are unclear.
