Simplest Possible DST Mod? Hello World?

[Uncrushed]

Is there a Hello World mod for DST that works with the latest version of DST?  I don't even know what the simplest thing would be - maybe a world announcement on spawn?  "Hello World Mod is Active!"?  I see a million links to every kind of mod and tutorial imaginable for DS, DST, etc., from the last 9 years or so.  Once I have something up and running, I can try random stuff until I get something different working.

Bonus points for a permissive, non-infectious open-source license like Apache (or MIT or Eclipse).  Bonus points for being hosted on github.

I think I'm looking to make a mod that highlights a circle around known dangers to bases on the map to avoid basing somewhere dangerous.  bat-radius around sinkholes, frog/mosquito-aggro radius around ponds, Moose Goose spawn points, and a big rectangle around known meteor fields (I think they are rectangular)?  Something like that.  But really, I just want to try making any mod and see what's involved.

Sorry this is late, or if you’ve already figured it out by now-

Usually for something like this you’d want to use a simple “print” command, but for some reason as of late, prints are acting weird? At least, for me…

Making an announcement is hard, too.. I’ve been trying to figure that out for myself for my own mod. The best way is to literally start with making an item- it’s not that hard! Making that item.. craftable.. is oddly hard since I can’t seem to find a tutorial for that.

if you’d like a good place to start with modding, this video can help! It’s where I started. Very sorry if this isn’t really the response you were looking for. We all gotta start somewhere, right?
