I've tried following many tutorials but I'm still having trouble downloading pip on my Linux Mint system. I'm using Visual Studio, though I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Is there a way to add libraries without using pip?

You should definitely have pip available. Try using the command 'pip3' instead of just 'pip' — it might work better for you!
Pip usually comes pre-installed with Python from the Mint repositories, but if it’s missing, you can easily install it using the apt package manager. If you want to do more serious Python work, consider setting up an official sources.list from python.org to get the latest version.
I've been developing professionally with Python and didn’t know about needing to set up a sources list. Pip installation can usually be done with apt on Debian-based distros.
I’m just trying to create Minecraft bots, so I’m not sure if that counts as serious coding.
