Learn Python. Any other language won't serve you too well; Python is what the Pi was made for.

C/C++ would be better, as it teaches you how to interact with the hardware(kind of). Assembly would be even better.

I think you have to learn ruby then, because I think the modding API for it is in ruby(I might be wrong)i have been learning python and i want to try some stuff with minecraft pi edition

There is ruby for McPi. Use python. It's quite easy, and similar to lua.

Not entirely true. The Raspberry Pi has an ARM processor and, since not all Assembly languages are the same (just compare the x86 assembly to ARM and you'll see), unless he's specifically targetting ARM everytime he develops after that, it's not going to be very beneficial except maybe in understanding the overall structure of an assembly program.
Edit: As for on topic, I'd have to agree that Python would be a good way to go.

There are several modding APIs for the RPi Minecraft edition. There is the Python one and a Node.js one. There are also quite a few others.

No, just no….Learn. Java. Now.
On topic: I agree with Mads C/C++ would be best…

I don't reccomend learning ASM on the raspi, you're much better off with learning Intel x86 Assembly, as it is the most widely supported(learn the 32-bit "mode").

I was just kidding with java…
Use C++ (aka cpp) for small and medium things.
