@aiHAL what you're asking is a broad question. There's many different types of modding within Minecraft, some even refer to Spigot/Bukkit plugins as mods, then you have Sponge plugins, Forge mods, vanilla mods/modded clients, etc. 

 

Spigot/Bukkit plugins are Java, Spigot actually provides a comprehensive guide for this here.

Forge mods are also Java and Minecraft's Gamepedia provides a simple getting started guide here.

Sponge plugins are Java, they also provide docs here

As for modded clients, that's a bit more difficult and requires more effort and knowledge...but you'll have to find your own resources there because it's version specific and heavily depends on your end goal.
