A question about function create() and mint() in ERC1155Mintable.sol about erc-1155 HOT 3 CLOSED

1. You are free to change this part, it isn't part of the standard. If you want to send initial token supply to someone else you can have something like this:

function create(uint256 _initialSupply, address _to, string calldata _uri) external returns(uint256 _id) {
    _id = ++nonce;
    creators[_id] = msg.sender;
    balances[_id][_to] = _initialSupply;
    emit TransferSingle(msg.sender, address(0x0), _to, _id, _initialSupply);
    if (bytes(_uri).length > 0)
        emit URI(_uri, _id);
}

This is implementation-specific part. Change it as you want.

2. Minting event sets _from to 0x0 in order to inform that it is a newly minted token. This is a common practice in token minting and coin mining. Moreover, you MUST do that by the EIP-1155 Specification.
   Same with burning tokens, _to must be zero address.
