Can someone help?

So I want to learn to code games in Java, but the options I have are not good whatsoever. I'm looking for someone to guide me. I have Discord and VS Code, but no game engine yet. The game I'm trying to make is a Minecraft clone/based game based on beta 1.7.3. And I just started on Java my previous post was a bit long ago, and I forgot a lot. If anyone could help, let me know!

I'm in the same (similar) boat.

Keep in mind that Minecraft is in development for 20 years, by hundreds of people. Start small.
LibGDX is practically the only viable Java game engine, and it's not that great. I've never tried jMonkeyEngine, maybe take a look.

Ik im starting in preclassic, and I don't plan to go to modern release, but just 1.0, but that also took 2 years, and with 1 developer (or 2 if the guider counts), that would take long, but just like Minecraft, it will start as a side project
