I took a programming class at local community college for exactly this reason. The professor was REALLY fucking stupid. He repeated the first class lesson for the first four classes. He had a lot of trouble finishing sentences, or explaining anything about programming outside generic analogies that were not illuminating. He was also super fat and had some kind of medical equipment hanging off him like a black baron Harkonnen so I think he may actually have had some sort of cognitive impairment too. I dropped it eventually but didn't get a refund because it was too late in the semester. 0/10 would not recomend

I have spent the last hour trying to add a death counter to permanently decrement player health in minecraft, and I have accomplished NOTHING in that hour. As far as I can tell, everything is set up as it should be for the NBT tag to be written/read and copied between instances of the player entity, I've still got fuck all to show for it. It's supposed to increment the death count by 2 on each death since 1 heart = 2hp, but the death count integer is stuck at fucking zero.

Yeah, I can't say I haven't done the same. I managed to somehow wreck my first linux install (debian) by resizing some logical volumes. Still not sure how I did that. Wasn't much of a problem because I back up my /home regularly, but it was a learning experience at least. Used clonezilla and hopped to gentoo after that. Point is, those kinds of problems are unavoidable when it comes to managing operating systems, and knowing how to be proactive/deal with them is pretty nice.
That being said using separate machines for individual installs is definitely the way to go. If you're okay with sub-par hardware you can pick up a thonkpad on an ebay auction for like $30, $100-$200 if you want one that you don't need to put any extra parts/work into.

I don't want to make a game, first off. Second, I don't have the patience, knowledge or vision to make a game. Even if I did the gameplay would be very mediocre. I might be OK with the writing but I'm not really able to make up shit entirely on my own, I have to build on other people's concepts and ideas. I can't make graphics so I really don't have anything at all, the only way I could see myself working on a game is if I was assisting somebody else with their game.

Easier said than done.
There is a EntityPlayer class, which initializes the player entity as an extension of the Entity class.
EntityPlayer has a void function onDeath(DamageSource par1DamageSource)
that is called every time the entity's health reaches zero, there's already a call that updates the stat for accumulated deaths (for the statistics page), so I figured that adding a public deathCount int at the start of the class and then incrementing deathCount += 2 every time onDeath is called would be simple enough.
But then deathCount is always 2.
So trying to make it an NBT tag, I added deathCount to readEntityFromNBT and writeEntityToNBT, but that proved just as fruitless, making deathCount always 0, which makes sense I guess considering the NBT data is probably overwritten whenever the player respawns.
I'd probably be better off trying to read the deathstat from the statistics page and reducing the maxhealth from that.

Software development for big institutions is an endless deluge of fuck. Job security through unmaintainability is real.
Manufactured problems to excuse inflated prices and ridiculous deadlines. Coding standards that encourage coupling, unreadability and other issues in a way that, at the surface level, could conceivably be considered an interpretation of some more accepted best practices. Inconsistent and incoherent naming and APIs to make sure no other codeshop getting a glance at the codebase would even want to touch the project.
And you know damned well if someone has pointed out a flaw that is endemic to the code, giving some examples, only those examples would get some kind of tweak. Sometimes copy-pasted in a way that causes more problems.
Fuck.
