Are you sure? I was told that I'd basically get screwed over if I did it.

Yes, Mojang completely allows it. It is within their ToS

Any tools you write for the game from scratch belongs to you. Other than commercial use (unless specifically authorized by us in our brand and assets usage guidelines - for instance you are allowed to put ads on your YouTube videos containing Minecraft footage), you're free to do whatever you want with screenshots and videos of the game,
