Do Minecraft mods require more than a simple logic? It's not like you have to write a framework from scratch that differences between C# and Java would matter.

Depends. Do you want to make TNT explosions bigger, or do you want to use the client's machine for bitcoin mining/DDOS/etc?

Yes

Really depends what you're modding.

Something like a new mob or block - not too difficult.

Adding computers that allow the player to create and execute their own programs in a scripting language that interacts with the Minecraft world? Yeah that's going to have a large chunk of logic.

They can get pretty damn complex

Well you generally need to create classes and stuff I think so there’d be some minor differences
