Minecraft is not successful because of its programming language, it's successful despite the questionable choice of its programming language. Games can be fine and successful withouth being top-notch software, they need to be enjoyable, not performant. Cities:Skylines is also successful, and with decent hardware you get like 40 fps. Again, not its hardware efficiency made it popular.
Regarding modding, I think if the game is successful, then there will be at least a small handful of people that write a modding interface for others.
