Need help and guidance for making a mod

[Codina]

I want to make a mod about power up crockpot foods. The idea is to give attention to underrated and forgotten crockpot recipes to make them more useful. Recipes like meatballs, pierogis, meaty stew, etc are too viable in the meta.

 

concept:

-Spicy chili gives 5x damage modifier for 5 min and does the wolfgang buff animation.

-Turkey dinner gives extra 20 hearts for 5 minutes (upgrade effect like WX).

-Fruit Medley gives 20 extra speed like walking cane.

-Ice cream gives 20 extra sanity for 5 minutes (upgrade effect like WX)

...etc

 

I tried looking into javascript and notepad++ tutorials and DST mod forum. It was confusing but I'm able to learn the basics such as adding numbers with variables and typing text.

 

I looked into Tykvesh's Battle Horn mod script as a reference because it uses the same mechanics.

I need all the help I can get to make this dream possible.

Here's a massive write-up about how crockpot recipes work, and how to manipulate them. The OP wanted to play with the jellybean recipe, since it has a healing over time, which is unique for that recipe. My write-up goes through how you would change that, as well.
